Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O`Sullivan
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 who Ever what it's like when your shattered
Left standing in the lurch, at a church Where people 're say ing,
"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
Who if He really does exist Why did He desert me
In my hour of need? I truly am in deed, 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
Now looking back over the years, And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide the 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
Leaving her to start with a heart So badly bro ken
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
