The Long and Winding Road
Leonidas Tsitsaros/Savvas Savva 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 Leonidas Tsitsaros and Savvas Savva's is a poignant song about a relationship that has gone through its ups and downs. The first verse speaks about a road that leads to someone's door that never disappears. Perhaps, this could mean that the writer never forgets about this person and always finds their way back to them. The second verse talks about a rainy night that has left a pool of tears crying for the day. It seems like the writer is waiting for someone to come back to them and let them know the way. They have been waiting for a long time, hoping that the one they love will come back to them.
The chorus repeats itself twice, emphasizing the idea that the road takes the writer back to the one they love, even though they have been waiting for a long time. The writer is pleading with the person they love not to keep them waiting anymore and to lead them to their door. In many ways, this song is about the hope that love can bring, and how it can endure through time and distance. By the end of the song, it becomes clear that the writer is desperate to be with the person they love, and that they will keep returning to the long and winding road that leads to their door.

The long and winding road
The path that is complicated and takes a long time
That leads to your door
The path that leads to the place where you reside
Will never disappear
The path will always exist
I've seen that road before
I have been on this path before
It always leads me here
The path leads me to this place
Lead me to your door
Direct me to where you are
The wild and windy night
The night that is tumultuous and full of wind
That the rain washed away
The rain that carried away the effects of the night
Has left a pool of tears
The aftermath of the night resulted in tears
Crying for the day
The tears represent the longing for daylight
Why leave me standing here?
Why did you leave me alone here?
Let me know the way
Give me guidance to know which way to go
Many times I've been alone
I have been alone on numerous occasions
And many times I've cried
On many of those occasions, I have cried
Anyway you'll never know
Despite this, it's impossible for you to understand my feelings
The many ways I've tried
All the attempts I made - you aren't aware of them
And still they lead me back
Despite everything, the path leads me to the same place
To the long winding road
To the path that is complicated and takes a long time
You left me standing here
You abandoned me in this place
A long long time ago
A significant amount of time has elapsed since then
Don't leave me waiting here
Don't leave me alone here
But still they lead me back
Yet again, the path leads me to the same place
Don't keep me waiting here
Don't leave me isolated
Lead me to your door
Direct me to where you are
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
An expression of enthusiasm and anticipation
