[00:11.190]In a little while from now
[00:13.830]If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:16.420]I promise myself to treat myself
[00:19.340]And visit a nearby tower
[00:22.130]And climbing to the top, will throw myself off
[00:27.420]In an effort to make it clear
[00:29.760]To who ever what it's like when you're shattered
[00:33.570]Left standing in the lurch at a church
[00:36.800]Where people saying, "My God, that's tough
[00:41.310]She's stood him up no point in us remaining
[00:44.950]We may as well go home"
[00:49.890]As I did on my own alone again, naturally
[00:56.310]To think that only yesterday
[00:59.400]I was cheerful, bright and gay
[01:02.540]Looking forward to well who wouldn't do
[01:04.950]The role I was about to play
[01:06.580]But as if to knock me down reality came around
[01:09.870]And without so much, as a mere touch
[01:13.420]Cut me into little pieces leaving me to doubt
[01:17.930]Talk about God in His mercy
[01:23.090]Who if He really does exist
[01:26.050]Why did he desert me in my hour of need
[01:29.800]I truly am indeed, alone again, naturally
[01:39.690]It seems to me that there are more hearts
[01:43.390]Broken in the world that can't be mended
[01:47.290]Left unattended
[01:51.550]What do we do? What do we do?
[02:38.990]Alone again, naturally
[02:42.280]Now looking back over the years
[02:44.940]And whatever else that appears
[02:47.370]I remember I cried when my father died
[02:49.290]Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:52.490]And at sixty-five years old
[02:54.790]My mother, God rest her soul
[02:58.130]Couldn't understand why the only man
[03:00.320]She had ever loved had been taken
[03:03.510]Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken
[03:07.270]Despite encouragement from me
[03:10.860]No words were ever spoken and when she passed away
[03:14.360]I cried and cried all day, alone again, naturally
[03:24.950]Alone again, naturally
