[Verse 1]
D Am
Look at the candle, as it's life is bought,
Am6 Am7 Am
as the wick just rolls over and dies;
Dsus4 D
look at the wax-drops as they cease from their goal
Am G D
and the game they were playing loses its joy
Am G D
and the youth which they played in runs away....
[Chorus]
D Am Em A
How long will you be gone?
[Verse 2]
D Am
Flames sucks at air now and its breath comes short
Am6 Am7 Am
as it wavers to half its size;
Dsus4 D
vacuum closes in and it attacks the soul.
Am G D
Now the force omnipotent itself is destroyed
Am G D
and for lack of itself it wanes away....
[Chorus]
D Am Em A
How long will you be gone?
[Verse 3]
D Am
So does my mind fly as I fight my thought -
Am6 Am7 Am
and I lose, for I cannot find:
Dsus4 D
sent my eyes long miles, they do not know home!
Am G D
For the life I was part of breathes its last
Am G D
and not only life, but hope has gone away....
[Chorus]
D Am Em A
How long will you be gone?
D Am Em A
How long will you be gone?
D Am Em A D
How long will you be gone?
