The Long and Winding Road
Langley Schools Music Project Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The long and winding road
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
That the rain washed away
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
Any way you'll never know
The many ways I've tried

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago
Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me waiting here
A long long time ago




Don't leave me standing here
Lead me to your door

Overall Meaning

The Langley Schools Music Project's version of "The Long and Winding Road" is a stunning rendition of a classic Beatles song. The song speaks to the heartache and pain of lost love, while also exploring the idea of the never-ending journey we all take through life. The first verse speaks of a road that always leads the singer back to their lost love's door - a metaphor for the cyclical nature of life and the fact that some things are just out of our control. The second verse explores the idea of a "wild and windy night" that has washed away the tears of the singer's lost love, leaving them standing in a pool of tears, desperately seeking a way forward.
