Long and Winding Road lyrics

You've got three days and four hours more

Till the opening of the final door

It's slightly uplifting

To know your execution has been shifted

Tausend Geschichten

Von Tod und Teufel, die sie berichten

Es braucht mehr als guten Willen

Und starken Glauben, um die zwei zu vernichten

Lasst uns dichten1

[Chorus:]

I have to leave and take my coat

It seems I'm kept in writing mode

With a lot of riddles to decode

Oh, life's a long and winding road

It's a beautiful day in my imagination

Just the right weather for light levitation

Life in motion, not in portions

And I can hear me say, I think the war's on

For so long

[Chorus]

1. German lines translate to: "A thousand stories / Of death and the devil that they account / It needs more than goodwill / And strong faith to defeat the two / Let us poetize"
