One of these days, spirit true I know I'm gonna know you The endless road I've been down I'm still pining for that lonesome sound 'Cause one of these days, one of these dark days I know I'm gonna know you But Oh! I'm afraid The hour's getting late Oh you, spirit true I'll wait for you Now I confess, I feel alone Lit up in blue by these things that I own I'll speak in tongues now, or tell me straight Tell me, how long do I have to wait? 'Cause one of these days, one of these dark days I know I'm gonna know you Oh! I'm afraid The hour's getting late How long should I wait? Tell me straight Oh! I'm afraid The hour's getting late Oh you, spirit true I'll wait for you Wait for you
