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 who
 Ever what it's like when you're shattered
 Left standing in the lurch
 At a church where people are saying
 My God, that's tough, He 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
 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 this world that can't be mended
 Left unattended
 What do we do?
 What do we do?
 Yeeeah
 Now, looking back over the years
 And whatever else that appears
 I remember I cried when my daddy died
 Never wishing to hide the tears
 And at sixty-five years old
 My mamma, 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
 I say I was alone again
 Naturally
 I found I was by myself, by myself
 Naturally
 I was alone, alone again
 Naturally
 I was just looking around to somebody to be my friend
 Naturally
 I was alone again
 Naturally
