Lyrics

In a little while from now
Not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
Climbing to the top
I throw myself off
In an effort to
Make it clear to
What's like when your love chums
Standing in a lurch
In a church where people saying
"My God, that's tough
She stood him up
No point in us remaining
Might as well go home"
As I did on my own
Alone again, naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and so gay
Looking forward to
And wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
As if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much
As a mere touch
Put me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
All about God and his mercy
Or if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need?
Truly I'm indeed
Alone again, naturally
Seems to me that there are more hearts
Broken in the world that can't be mended
Left unattended
What do we do?
What do we do?
Alone again, naturally
Looking back over the years
And whatever else occurred
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
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
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
