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
Will 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
Where 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, but who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But 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
For 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 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 (looking back over the years)
And what ever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears (hide the tears)
And at 65 years old (five years old)
My mother, God rest her soul (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
