Hill/Wiltschinsky Guitar Duo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
The Long and Winding Road by Hill/Wiltschinsky Guitar Duo is a beautifully melancholic track that talks about a long journey that leads to someone's door. The song starts with the singer talking about the long and winding road that they have taken many times before, and how it always leads them back to the door of the person they are singing to. It's a poignant message about the emotional toll that a journey like this can take, but also about how it is worth it in the end, to see that person who is so important to you.
The song then shifts into a more mournful tone, with the singer reflecting on the pain that they have experienced when they have been alone, and how they have tried many times to make things work. They are asking the person to let them know the way, to show them the path to follow so that they can be together again. The repeated phrase "lead me to your door" emphasizes just how important this person is to the singer and how they will keep coming back, no matter how long and difficult their journey is. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer asking not to be left waiting, but instead to be led to where they belong.
Overall, The Long and Winding Road is a song that speaks to the heart, with its message of love, loss, and perseverance. The fact that it speaks so clearly to people is a testament to the skill of Hill/Wiltschinsky Guitar Duo, as well as to the enduring popularity of the Beatles' work.
Line by Line Meaning
The long and winding road
A lengthy and meandering path
That leads to your door
Which brings me to your home
Will never disappear
Will always be present
I've seen that road before
I've traveled it previously
It always leads me here
It consistently brings me to this place
Lead me to your door
Guide me to your entrance
The wild and windy night
An intense and stormy evening
That the rain washed away
That was cleared by the rain
Has left a pool of tears
Has resulted in plenty of crying
Crying for the day
Longing for a positive outcome
Why leave me standing here?
Asking for an explanation for being stranded
Let me know the way
Inform me of how to get there
Many times I've been alone
I have frequently been by myself
And many times I've cried
And have shed many tears
Anyway you'll never know
In any case, you will never understand
The many ways I've tried
All of the methods I have attempted
And still they lead me back
Yet I am still brought back
To the long winding road
To that meandering path once again
You left me standing here
You abandoned me in this spot
A long long time ago
A significant period in the past
Don't leave me waiting here
Do not cause me to wait any longer
But still they lead me back
Nevertheless it brings me back again
Don't keep me waiting here
Do not cause me to remain waiting
Lead me to your door
Guide me to your entrance
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
An expression of agreement and enthusiasm
