I lay on the grass looking at the clouds. lookingの先行詞はI

Looking at the clouds, I lay on the grass.　同様に、先行詞はI　
上記文は同じ意味と考えてもよい。

Sitting there alone, she seemed to be waiting for someone.　sittingの先行詞はshe
She seemed to be waiting for someone sitting there alone. 　この場合は先行詞がsomeone
に為るはずです。
よって上記２文の意味は異なる。

googleで検索をしたwaiting for someone comming

からの例題です。

She seemed like waiting for someone coming, and a young girl in her twenties arrived.

They seemed to （have kept to） be waiting for someone coming over.

comingの先行詞はsheでもtheyでもなくsomeoneになりますよね。
