Gilbert O'Sullivan - 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 town
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 saying, my God
That's tough, she stood him up
No point in us remaining
We may as well go home
As I did on my own
Along again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, well 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 and his mercy
Though 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?

Alonge again, naurally

Looking back over the years
Whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears
And at 65 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 incouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
