In a little while from
If I’m not feeling any sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And to the top will throw myself off
In an effort to it clear to who
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a
Where people saying: "My God, that’s tough
She's stood him up"
No point in us
We may as well go home
As I did on my
Alone again, naturally

To think that only
I was , bright and gay
Looking forward to well wouldn’t do
The I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came
And without so much, as a mere
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Or if He really does
Why did He desert me in my hour of
I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more
broken in the world that can’t be
Left unattended
What do we do? What do we do?

Alone again, naturally
Now back over the years
And whatever else that
I remember I cried when my father
Never to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul,
Couldn’t why the only man
She had ever loved had been
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever
And when she away
I cried and all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
