The Long and Winding Road
The Beatles Revival Band 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,
Leads me to your door.

The wild and windy night 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
Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried, but
Still they lead me back to the long and winding road




You left me standing here a long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to you door

Overall Meaning

The Beatles Revival Band's "The Long and Winding Road" is a melancholic ballad that reflects the nostalgia, longing, and desperation of a jilted lover. The song's opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer expresses his unending search for his lost love, noting that the road he takes always leads him back to her. The metaphor of the "long and winding road" has been interpreted as a symbol of life's journey or the ups and downs of romance.


The second verse paints a vivid picture of the singer's desolation, as he recalls a past rainy night that washed away his hopes and left him in a pool of tears. He then pleads with his lost love to show him the way back to her, since he's been desperately waiting for her for a long time. Despite his numerous attempts, his efforts have never been enough to bring them back together, yet his heart still yearns to be with her. The final lines of the song serve as a final plea for her to take him in, and end the long and winding road that's been tearing him apart.
