When a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sad
I promise myself to dream myself
A vision of a nearby tower
And climbing to the top
Will throw myself off
And it never took
Me clear to look
Ever what its like
When you're shattered
Left standing in the lurch
At a church where people saying
My Got, that's tough
She stood him up,
No point in us remaining
May as well go home
'Cause 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 more to touch
Come 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 hours 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
That time has ended
What do we do, what do we do

Looking back over the years
Whenever our skies are clear
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
At sixty five years old
My mother, Got 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
When she passed away I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
