Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan

作词：Gilbert O'Sullivan

作曲：Gilbert O'Sullivan

In a little while from now

If I'm not feeling any less sour

I promised 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 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 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

Alone again naturally

Now looking back over the years

And what ever 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 spoken

And when she passed away

I cried and cried all day

Alone again naturally

Alone again naturally
