| Recorded at RCA's Studio C, Hollywood March 29, 1972. First released as a single Burning Love/It's A Matter Of Time 1972. On The Charts: Billboard's Country (13 weeks-peaked at #36), Easy-Listening (peaked at #9.) Elvis badly wanted to do a concert tour in Europe. He saw the success of The Stones and The Beatles, and that got his competitive juices flowing. Can you imagine how big Elvis would have been in Europe? But the Colonel always had a reason for not going. Security problems. Tax problems. Technical and production details. God knows what else. Elvis would blow up at the Colonel about it, say he was damn well going, but he'd always end up backing down. Elvis never had a clue what the real reason was that the Colonel didn't want to go to Europe, and no one found out until years later: He was, and is, an illegal alien in the United States. He jumped off a boat to get into this country. In fact, he jumped off twice. The first time they caught him and sent him back to his native country, the Netherlands. The second time, he stayed and never got caught. The Colonel was afraid that if he left the U,S, he'd never be able to get back in, and that's why he prevented Elvis from taking a Europe tour. He just flat out lied to Elvis. And he really wanted to go. He'd had a wonderful time there when he was in the army. He would have been huge in Europe. Huge. But the Colonel denied him that pleasure. Denied him the money and the satisfaction. That's the kind of thing that can really make you bitter. (The Elvis Encyclopedia by David E. Stanley) |

| It's a matter of time before I go back there A matter of time before I go home I have been way from her now for a long time And I've lived a life I thought that it should be It's a long, long way from now to maybe sometime And the waiting round is really killing me It's a matter of time before I go back there A matter of time oh Lord, before I go home It's a long way I know and the goin' ain't easy She'll see me again it's a matter of time I think I'll take a train right early in the morning Just to see how far I get along the way But the trains don't run too often only sometimes So I guess I'd better wait another day It's a matter of time before I go back there A matter of time before I go home It's a long way I know and the goin' ain't easy She'll see me again, it's just a matter of time She'll see me I know it's a matter of time Words & music: Clive Westlake |
