Alone Again Naturally
In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat my self 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 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
Who 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 heartbroken
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 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
