I'm Walkin'
Love's Longing Stroll: Yearning and Hope in 'I'm Walkin'
Lyrics
I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
I am moving forward, discussing our relationship.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes)
I hope for your return to me (affirmative).
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company
I am very lonely, eagerly anticipating your companionship.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
Reiterating the desire for your return.
What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry?
What will you do when resources are exhausted?
You're gonna run away and hide
You will likely try to escape and conceal yourself.
I'm gonna run right by your side, for you pretty baby I'll even die
I will run alongside you; I am willing to even die for you, my dear.
I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
Repeating the theme of moving forward and discussing our relationship.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
Expressing hope for your return (repeated).
I'm walkin', yes indeed, and I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
Repetition of the theme of moving forward and discussing our relationship.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me (yes)
Reiterating the hope for your return (affirmative).
I'm lonely as I can be, I'm waitin' for your company
Expressing extreme loneliness, waiting eagerly for your presence.
I'm hopin' that you'll come back to me
Again, hoping for your return (repeated).
What 'ya gonna do when the well runs dry?
What will you do when faced with a shortage of resources?
You're gonna sit right down and cry
You will likely sit down and cry.
What 'ya gonna do when I say "bye-bye"?
What will you do when I decide to say goodbye?
All you're gonna do is dry your eye
All you will do is dry your eyes; there won't be any other significant reaction.
I'm walkin', yes indeed, I'm talkin' 'bout you and me
Repetition of the theme of moving forward and discussing our relationship.
