Long and Winding Road

Jim Adams has challenged us to write about songs with Long/Short/Small/Tall as lyrics. The Beatles’ The Long and Winding Road fits well. The song from the album Let It Be album was written by Paul McCartney. As a single it was issued after the group’s break-up and became their last number one on the US charts.

Lyrics:

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 doorThe 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 wayMany times I’ve been alone
And many times I’ve cried
Anyway, you’ll never know
The many ways I’ve triedAnd 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 doorBut 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
