The Long and Winding Road
Journey Through Love's Challenges: The Long Winding Road
Lyrics
The long and winding road
The journey or path is long and curving
That leads to your door
Refers to reaching someone's home or heart
Will never disappear
Indicates the road's lasting nature, it won't vanish
I've seen that road before
Expresses familiarity with the path
It always leads me here
Despite familiarity, it consistently brings the speaker back to the same place
Lead me to you door
A plea to be guided or shown the way to the destination
The wild and windy night
Describes a tumultuous and stormy night
That the rain washed away
Implies the rain has cleansed or removed something
Has left a pool of tears
Symbolizes the sadness or sorrow left behind
Crying for the day
Expresses the emotional pain and longing for resolution
Why leave me standing here?
Questioning why the speaker is left in this state
Let me know the way
A request for guidance or direction
Many times I've been alone
Highlights the frequency of solitude experienced
And many times I've cried
Emphasizes the depth of emotional distress
Anyway you'll never know
An assertion that the other person won't understand the speaker's efforts and pain
The many ways I've tried
Indicates multiple attempts made by the speaker
And still they lead me back
Despite efforts to move forward, the path brings the speaker back
To the long winding road
Reiteration of the long and winding path
You left me standing here
Statement of being abandoned a while ago
A long long time ago
Request not to be left waiting in this state
Don't leave me waiting here
Another plea to be guided to the destination
Lead me to your door
Request to be led to the person's heart or home
But still they lead me back
Repetition of being brought back to the same path
To the long winding road
Reiterates the long and winding nature of the journey
You left me standing here
Repeats feeling abandoned a while ago
A long long time ago
Requests not to be left waiting in this state
Don't keep me waiting here
Another plea to be guided to the destination
Lead me to your door
Request to be led to the person's heart or home
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Exclamation of emotions or frustration
