Nina Simone How Long Must I Wander Lyrics

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?
