Alone Again (Naturally)

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

And climbing to the top

To throw myself 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

With people saying

My God that's tough, she stood him up

No point in us remaining

We may as well go home

As I did on my own

Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday

I was cheerful, bright and gay

Looking forward to, 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 a mere touch

Cut me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt

Talk about God and his mercy

Oh, if he really does exist

Why did he desert me?

In my hour of need

I truly am 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?

Looking back over the years

Whatever else 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'd ever loved had been taken

Leaving her to start with a heart

So badly broken

Despite encouragement from me

No words were ever spoken (Were ever spoken)

When she passed away (When she passed away)

I cried and cried all day (Cried and cried all day)

Alone again, naturally

Alone again, naturally
