[00:02.00] Alone Again Naturally
[00:06.99] - Gilbertid Sullovan
[00:11.68]
[00:13.28] In a little while from now
[00:15.86] If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:18.67] I promise myself to treat myself
[00:21.33] And visit a nearby tower
[00:24.31] And climbing to the top
[00:26.85] will throw myself off
[00:29.68] In an effort to make it clear to who
[00:32.59] Ever what it's like when you're shattered
[00:35.28] Left standing in the lurch
[00:37.71] At a church where people saying:
[00:40.89] "My God, that's tough
[00:42.29] She's stood him up"
[00:43.56] No point in us remaining
[00:46.69] We may as well go home
[00:49.50] As I did on my own
[00:51.99] Alone again, naturally
[00:56.20]
[00:57.81] To think that only yesterday
[01:00.49] I was cheerful, bright and gay
[01:03.28] Looking forward to well wouldn't do
[01:06.01] The role I was about to play
[01:08.79] But as if to knock me down
[01:11.57] Reality came around
[01:14.17] And without so much, as a mere touch
[01:16.83] Cut me into little pieces
[01:20.17] Leaving me to doubt
[01:22.30] Talk about God and His mercy
[01:25.13] Or if He really does exist
[01:28.04] Why did He desert me
[01:30.99] In my hour of need
[01:33.71] I truly am indeed
[01:36.37] Alone again, naturally
[01:41.09]
[01:42.22] It seems to me that there are more hearts
[01:45.61] Broken in the world that can't be mended
[01:49.57] Left unattended
[01:52.23] What do we do?
[01:54.96] What do we do?
[01:58.44]
[02:37.93] Alone again, naturally
[02:42.84]
[02:44.00] Now looking back over the years
[02:46.65] And whatever else that appears
[02:49.37] I remember I cried when my father died
[02:51.95] Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:54.89] And at sixty-five years old
[02:57.72] My mother, God rest her soul,
[03:00.34] Couldn't understand why the only man
[03:03.13] She had ever loved had been taken
[03:05.86] Leaving her to start
[03:08.45] with a heart so badly broken
[03:11.54] Despite encouragement from me
[03:14.36] No words were ever spoken
[03:17.30] And when she passed away
[03:19.99] I cried and cried all day
[03:22.58] Alone again, naturally
[03:28.23] Alone again, naturally
[03:32.90]
