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
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

I have made many attempts to bridge the gap between us
But still they lead me back
Despite all my efforts to move on, I am always drawn back to you
To the long winding road
To the journey of life, with all its ups and downs
You left me waiting here
You have abandoned me and left me to fend for myself
A long long time ago
It feels like an eternity since you left me
Don't leave me standing here
I need you, please don't abandon me again
Lead me to your door
Guide me back to where I belong, with you
