Lyrics

In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
Climbing to the top
Will throw myself right off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
What it's like when you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch
At a church where people are saying
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up"
No point in our remaining
We might as well go home
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
And to think that only yesterday
I was so cheerful, bright, and gay
Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
And as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as the slightest touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Ooh, if He really does exist
Why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am, indeed
Alone again, naturally
It seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in this world that can't be mended
Left unattended, what can we do?
What can we do?
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the only man she had ever loved
Had been taken from her
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
I was alone again, naturally
Alone again
