Alone Again, Naturally

[Verse 1] 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 Standing at the top Will throw myself off In an effort to make it clear to whoever Just what it's like when you're shattered Left standing in a lurch, in 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 [Verse 2] To think that only yesterday I was cheerful, bright and gay Looking forward to, who wouldn't do The words I was about to say And as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much as a mere touch Cut me into little piеces Leaving me to doubt All about God and His mеrcy For if He really does exist Then why did He desert me In my hour of need? I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally [Flute solo] [Verse 3] 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 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 When she passed away I cried and cried all day Alone again Alone, naturally
