Ringo Starr Borrows Paul McCartney Title

[pennylane]

Ringo Starr has borrowed the title of an old Paul McCartney song for his new album.

On the title track to 'Choose Love' his upcoming new album, Ringo sings "The Long and Winding Road is more than a song".

"The Long and Winding Road is more than a song"?? Should be interesting.. That song for me has always looked like a tribute to Paul..

Thanks for posting that PL.

Here are the lyrics to TLAWR. Haven't been able to figure out much meaning so far. Maybe it was written by Ringo?:

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
That 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,
Anyways you've always known.
The many ways I've tried.

But 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 (ohhh)
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

I read somewhere the song is supposed to be about Jane Asher! As it was written somewhere in the late 60's I told you there was something going on between her and William..... If Paul was a double, maybe it's about him yearning to meet the real one.
