A Matter of Time

He lays alone cries on his own For horizons that he'll never reach And all of those dreams are washed on the beach She's drowning in oceans of shackled emotions Going round and around in her head While out on the streets people forget That it's love you want Love you want Love you want She speaks of hoping, he speaks of fighting And tells her that they will come through 'Cause he wants to feel the shock of the new People that hurt you and they burn you With acid the falls that falls from the sky And out of the silence your voice says why? If it's love you want Love you want Love you want It's a matter of time, a matter of time But you're asking why, oh, life makes you cry? Turn moss into roses and blood into wine It's a matter of time, a matter of time But all of your past still plays on your mind And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design It's a matter of time This isn't giving this isn't living Ooh, just days that pull you apart And tears turn to rust that fall on still hearts So swallow your maybes and cradle your babies Tell them that they will come through Their gonna feel the shock of the new And if it's love you want Love you want Love you want It's a matter of time, a matter of time But you're asking why, oh, life makes you cry? Turn moss into roses and blood into wine It's a matter of time, a matter of time But all of your past still plays on your mind And maybe tomorrow you'll live by design It's a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time A matter of time, a matter of time --- A Matter of Time - Spandau Ballet
