The long and winding road I see ahead
Seems so far from here to there
Feels right, feels wrong, feels alien, feels
familiar
Feels distant, feels way too close
Turn the lights out! Let the music play!
The long and lonely need inside of me.
How I wish that things were clear
I seek, I find, I lose again, I’m confusing,
I’m tired of turning round and round again
Turn the lights out! Let the music play!
And it would help if I could hear your voice!
If I saw your face…If I knew that you were real!
The long and winding road that brings you home.
It’s not far from me to you
I wait, I call, I’m reaching out, I’m believing
I’m sorry…I know it’s hard
Turn the lights out! Let the music play!
And if it helps, listen to your heart
Listen to my heart! Listen to the heart of
things!
And if it helps, listen to your truth!
Listen to my truth! Listen to the truth of
things!
And I would seek on the days I care,
If not for the pain, open up to you again.
And if it helps…
