Alone Again (Naturally)
Gilbert o'Sullivan

Oh 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 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's stood him up no point in us remaining
We 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 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 in his mercy
Who 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

…..solo…..

…Alone again naturally…

Now looking back over the years and whatever 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 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…
