Analysis of Walking Alone
Don't take my hand
As I can't lead
Don't know where I'm going
Even though it's what I need
I've always been the one- not knowing where to go
In life
In love
I really don't know
No plans for tomorrow
No plans for the future
So I'll sit here once more
Waiting for some sign
It's a sign that I need
Some sort of direction
Need to know I'm being watched
Never alone
Don't take my hand
As I can't lead
Don't know where I'm going
Even though it's what I need
