In a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
In an effort to make it
clear to whoever
What it's like when you're
shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people
saying, My
God, that's tough
She's stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my
own
Alone again,
Naturally
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful bright and gay
Looking forward to who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a
mere touch
Cut me into little
pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about, God in his
mercy
Oh, if he really does exist
Why did he desert me
In my hour of need
I truly am in
deed
Alone again,
naturally
It seems to me that there are
more hearts broken in the world
That can't be mended
Left una
ttended
What do we do
What do we do
Alone again,
naturally
Looking back over the
years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at sixty-five years old
My mother, God rest her soul
Couldn't understand why the
only man
She had ever loved had been
taken
Leaving her to start
With a heart so badly
broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all
day
Alone again,
naturally
Alone again,
naturally
