about

Jon: Indie folk pop waltz about seizing the day and living in the moment, Whilst originally performed a third lower with Cloudy. with some notably different chords and arrangement it's been a mainstay of RSC live gigs since the very beginning. I imagine it waited till LP2 because we recorded "Son of A Gun" and "Tell Me I'm wrong" on "Serenity" and unlike common time there's only so many 3/4 or 6/8 songs you can do on one LP (or so I'm told) ;) There's two on this LP, once again.

lyrics

"ONLY A MATTER OF TIME" Words and Music by JAG Delaney © 2005

Verse 1
Love I’ve lost my way
Doesn't matter what I do Or what the world is coming to today
When everything bleeds into grey
Damned if you do or you don’t Regardless, whatever you say

Chorus
For it’s only a matter of time Before the past catches up with you
Yes it’s only a matter of time hours minutes or days.....
Only a matter of time before this life’s finally done with you
So make the best of it while you still can. you still can

Verse 2
Love I’ve known something of the truth in you
While I live the lie, all the working day
Oh I get so tired that I want to sleep forever
In the hope that I will dream that you will stay ……… .Please Stay

Chorus as above

Bridge
Stake your claim on the heart of gold
Don’t you ever do as you have been told
If only I could be so bold
For Life’s all about taking some real risks
So go, to the very edge…. of the cliff
and feel the hope…. and the longing in her lips ………

Chorus as above

You Still Can .. .It’s Only A Matter of Time
