Alone Again (Naturally)

[00:11.41] In a little while from now
[00:14.02] If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:17.00] I promise myself to treat myself
[00:19.43] And visit a nearby tower
[00:22.35] And climbing to the top
[00:25.10] Will throw myself off
[00:27.82] In an effort to
[00:29.32] Make it clear to whoever
[00:31.35] Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
[00:33.63] Left standing in the lurch at a church
[00:37.06] Were people saying, My God, that's tough
[00:40.30] She stood him up
[00:41.89] No point in us remaining
[00:44.65] We may as well go home
[00:47.38] As I did on my own
[00:50.39] Alone again, naturally
[00:55.85] To think that only yesterday
[00:58.24] I was cheerful, bright and gay
[01:01.14] Looking forward to who wouldn't do
[01:04.25] The role I was about to play
[01:06.74] But as if to knock me down
[01:09.68] Reality came around
[01:12.24] And without so much as a mere touch
[01:15.01] Cut me into little pieces
[01:18.07] Leaving me to doubt
[01:20.22] Talk about, God in His mercy
[01:23.32] Oh, if he really does exist
[01:26.34] Why did he desert me
[01:29.06] In my hour of need
[01:31.67] I truly am indeed
[01:34.69] Alone again, naturally
[01:40.18] It seems to me that
[01:41.72] There are more hearts broken in the world
[01:45.02] That can't be mended
[01:47.68] Left unattended
[01:50.28] What do we do
[01:53.10] What do we do
[01:56.64]
[02:36.30] Alone again, naturally
[02:41.66] Looking back over the years
[02:44.13] And whatever else that appears
[02:46.96] I remember I cried when my father died
[02:49.62] Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:52.55] And at sixty-five years old
[02:55.35] My mother, God rest her soul
[02:57.98] Couldn't understand why the only man
[03:00.87] She had ever loved had been taken
[03:03.66] Leaving her to start
[03:06.07] With a heart so badly broken
[03:09.16] Despite encouragement from me
[03:12.02] No words were ever spoken
[03:14.81] And when she passed away
[03:17.45] I cried and cried all day
[03:20.14] Alone again, naturally
[03:25.78] Alone again, naturally
[03:31.09]
