Walking Out Alone Lyrics
The feeling when you miss a step and fear comes flooding in
I don’t know where the shock will end or where the grief begins
As the precession marches in
She waits for you without a grin
And as the organ starts to drone
Its long and mournful tones
Take my hands and never let go
And as the double doors swing open
As she makes her journey home
I promise you today you won’t be walking out alone
When life throws you a dreadful hand, you must resume the game
Bitter as you play your card and tears stream down your face
And as the casket’s carried in
You realise that no one wins
And as the organ starts to drone
Its long and mournful tones
Take my hand and crush up my bones
And as the double doors swing open
As she makes her journey home
I promise you today you won’t be walking out alone
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
I don’t know where the shock will end or where the grief begins
As the precession marches in
She waits for you without a grin
And as the organ starts to drone
Its long and mournful tones
Take my hands and never let go
And as the double doors swing open
As she makes her journey home
I promise you today you won’t be walking out alone
When life throws you a dreadful hand, you must resume the game
Bitter as you play your card and tears stream down your face
And as the casket’s carried in
You realise that no one wins
And as the organ starts to drone
Its long and mournful tones
Take my hand and crush up my bones
And as the double doors swing open
As she makes her journey home
I promise you today you won’t be walking out alone
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na
And so we walk with arms wide open
As she makes her journey home
I promise you today you won’t be walking out alone
As she makes her journey home
I promise you today you won’t be walking out alone
