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 your shattered

Left standing in the lurch, at a church
Where people 're 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
Or 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?

Looking back over the years
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 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
