Nina Simone How Long Must I Wander
In my life I've known lots of sorrow In my time I've suffered great pain My poor heart has often been mended But only to be broken again As I face each new day ever dreaming Of a love that will last for all time I wonder as I often wonder How long will I wander this time?
As I pause to recall the few good times My memory grows hazy and dim Sometimes I can bring back the faces Of the lovers now gone with the wind And I face each new day ever searching For that someone to have for all time And I know it's impossible So I wonder as I often wonder How long will I wander this time? Oh yes, I wonder as I wonder every night How long will it be this time?
So you see, life means a journey Being in show business a suitcase is my only home Sometimes I grow weary but I don't like to complain But I'm travelling this road all alone I may stumble at the crossroads As I leave all my misery behind ('Cos it's all over for me - no more misery this time) I wonder as I often wonder How long - how long - yes, how long must I see the old faces passing before me How long (takes so long my lord, takes so long my lord) How l-o-n-g must I wander, will I wander this time?
