Long and Winding Road
Journey Through Love's Challenges: The Long and Winding Road by Judy Collins
Lyrics
The long and winding road
The journey that is intricate and full of twists and turns.
That leads to your door
Refers to arriving at someone's residence or presence.
Will never disappear
Emphasizes the enduring nature of the mentioned road.
I've seen that road before
Expressing familiarity with the path, suggesting previous experiences.
It always leads me here
The road consistently leads the speaker to the same destination.
Lead me to you door
Asking to be guided to the destination or person.
The wild and windy night
Describing a turbulent and stormy night.
That the rain washed away
Rain has cleared away, leaving behind emotional residue.
Has left a pool of tears
Emphasizing the emotional impact, symbolized by a pool of tears.
Crying for the day
Tears shed in anticipation of a brighter future.
Why leave me standing here?
Questioning why the speaker is left alone in this emotional state.
Let me know the way
Request for guidance and understanding.
Many times I've been alone
Reflecting on moments of solitude.
And many times I've cried
Expressing the emotional toll through tears.
Anyway you'll never know
Highlighting the mystery of the speaker's efforts.
The many ways I've tried
Underscoring the various attempts made by the speaker.
And still they lead me back
Despite efforts to move on, the road brings the speaker back.
To the long winding road
Reiterating the connection to the complex journey.
You left me standing here
Recalling being left behind a significant amount of time ago.
A long long time ago
Requesting not to be left waiting in emotional limbo.
Don't leave me waiting here
Appealing for guidance to reach the desired destination.
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
Repeating the theme of being drawn back to the complicated journey.
To the long winding road
Emphasizing the persistent connection to the winding road.
You left me standing here
Recalling the prolonged period of being left behind.
A long long time ago
Asking not to be kept waiting for an extended duration.
Don't keep me waiting here
Requesting guidance to reach the intended destination.
Lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing a sense of urgency and yearning for connection.
