In a little while from now

If I'm not feeling any less sour

I promised myself to treat myself

And visit a nearby tower And climbing to the top

To throw myself off

In an effort to make it clear to who

Ever what it's like when you're shattered Left standing in the lurch, at a church

Where people are saying

My God that's tough, she stood him up

No point in us remaining 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, but who wouldn't do

The role I was about to play And 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 and His mercy

For if He really does exist

Why did He desert me In my hour of need?

I truly am indeed

Alone again, naturally It seems to me that there are more hearts

Broken in the world that can't be mended

Left unattended

What do we do? what do we do? Now looking back over the years

And what ever 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
