[00:02.00]Alone Again Naturally

[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]
