The Long and Winding Road
Journey of Yearning: The Long and Winding Path to Love
Lyrics
The long and winding road
The journey ahead is challenging and full of twists and turns.
That leads to your door
This path leads to the person's residence or a significant place.
Will never disappear
The connection represented by the road will endure.
I've seen that road before
The speaker has experienced this road previously.
It always leads me here
Despite familiarity, the road consistently brings the speaker back.
Lead me to you door
The road symbolically guides the speaker to the person's presence.
The wild and windy night
A difficult and tumultuous night, washed clean by rain.
That the rain washed away
The rain has removed the physical traces but not the emotional impact.
Has left a pool of tears
Tears remain, a metaphor for emotional pain and longing.
Crying for the day
The tears express a yearning for a better future.
Why leave me standing here?
The speaker questions the abandonment, seeking an explanation.
Let me know the way
Asking for guidance or a clear path forward.
Many times I've been alone
The speaker reflects on numerous occasions of solitude.
And many times I've cried
Expressing emotional pain through tears on many occasions.
Anyway you'll never know
The person will never fully comprehend the efforts made.
The many ways I've tried
Despite numerous attempts, the speaker's struggles are hidden.
And still they lead me back
Repeatedly, the road leads the speaker back to the same place.
To the long winding road
Reiterating the significance of the long and winding road.
You left me standing here
The person left the speaker alone a long time ago.
A long long time ago
Requesting not to be left waiting in this state.
Don't leave me waiting here
Expressing a desire to be led back to the person's presence.
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
Emphasizing the persistence of the road's influence.
To the long winding road
Reiterating the impact of the long and winding road.
You left me standing here
Recalling being left standing alone long ago.
A long long time ago
Implore not to be kept waiting in isolation.
Don't keep me waiting here
Yearning to be led back to the person's presence.
Lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration with a sense of urgency and yearning.
