Alone Again (naturally) Lyrics

Gilbert Osullivan

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 Will 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
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 All about God and His mercy For if He really does exist Why did He desert me [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/alone-again-naturally-lyrics-gilbert-osullivan.html ]
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 have cried 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
