|
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 |
|
Wants to know what it's like |
|
When you're shattered |
|
Left standing in the lurch at a church |
|
Were 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 |
|
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 mere touch |
|
Cut me 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 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 |
|
Alone again, naturally |
|
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 |
|
Leaving her to start |
|
With a heart so badly broken |
|
Despite encouragement from me |
|
No words were ever |
|
And when she passed away |
|
I cried and cried all day |
|
Alone again, naturally |
|
Alone again, naturally |
