Letra de A matter of time

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
