A Matter Of Time lyrics

town clock stopped tickin`, but it ain`t broken
got a problem that no one can define
while the river keeps on a-flowin`
hang on children, it`s a matter of time
angry child, impatience growin`
waits with her father in that unemployment line
wihle that river goes on a-flowin`
hang on darlin`, it`s a matter of time
scarecrow watchin` years of growin`
with floods of asphalt creepin` closer each time
while that river keeps on a-flowin`
hang on brother, it`s a matter of time
sparrow, she`s sleepin` with no way of knowin`
what`s goin` on inside those telephone lines
below, that river keeps on a-flowin`
hang on sister, it`s a matter of time
some say god created man, his likeness showin`
i do believe they`ve got it backwards this time
somehow that river goes on a-flowin`
hang on children, it`s a matter of time
tainted river flows to the ocean
that coughs up on the shore its poisonous brine
why don`t that river just stop a-flowin`?
hang on children, it`s a matter of time
