Letra de 'How Long Must I Wander' de Nina Simone

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
Yes, and 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)
And I wonder as I often wonder
How long (how long)
Ow yeah, how long (how long)
Yes, how long (How long)
Must I see the old faces (how long)
Passing before me, yeah
How long (how long)
Takes so long, my lord (how Long)
Takes so long, my lord
How l-o-n-g must I wander, will I wander this time?
