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
