The Anthology Of The Beatles' Poems
The Long And Winding Road
When four lanes dwindle down to two
I know I'm halfway home to you;
I've been driving since dawn today -
I won't be late, I hope and pray
The sun goes out, headlights come on,
Turn up the music, I'm 'bout gone,
But there are still too many miles
Between me and my angel's smiles
Asphalt transforms into gravel,
Trees lean over me like gavels
Trying to sentence me to life,
Severing our bond like a knife
I fight the wheel and I fight sleep;
A promise to you I must keep:
To be by your side when our child
Leaves the womb and enters the wild
Around this bend another waits,
From this road there is no escape;
But I know you're waiting for me
So I drive oh so carefully
Just one final corner to go...
When I feel the tires slip I know:
Of all the precious things I'll miss...
Above all else will be your kiss

Author guidance for This poem
Similar idea to the Bond poems - use the title of any Beatles song as the topic of your poem. The title, not the song. Ridiculously long list here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:The_Beatles_songs Unlike the Bond poems I will not be listing the ones already done in the guidance - I don't care how nicely you ask me to Kev. There are more than 250 of them! Just go to the last post and make use of that handy 'Show all previous branches' button that Nick so kindly provided if you want to see which titles have been done. 7 PARTICIPANTS IN THIS POEM
