How Long Must I Wonder

How Long Must I Wonder - Nina Simone (妮娜·西蒙)

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

Yeah How long

Takes so long my lord

How long

Takes so long my lord

How long must I wander

Will I wander this time
