Alone again, naturally

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're 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?
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?


Looking back over the years, and whatever 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
