            D      Dsus4                 D                      
            Look    at         the candle    
             
            Dsus4     D     Am   
            as its life is   bought
             
            (Am)
            as the wick just rolls over and dies
                                                                                 
             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
             
            D       Am      Em       A     
            How long will you be gone? 
             
             
            (same...)
             
            Flames suck at air now and its breath come short
            as it wavers to half its size
            vacuum closes in and it attacks the soul
             
            Now the force omnipotent itself is destroyed
            and for lack of itself it wanes away
             
            How long will you be gone?

            and I lose, for I cannot find:
            send my eyes long miles,

             
            For the life I was part of breathes its last
            and not only life, but hope has gone away
             
             
            D      Am        Em       A
            How long will you be gone?
