Alone Again, Naturally

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
Standing at the top, will throw myself off
In an effort to make it clear to whoever
Just what it's like when you're shattered

Left standing in a lurch, in 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, who wouldn't do, the words I was about to say
And 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, then why did He desert me
In my hour of need?
I truly am indeed
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 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 encouragement from me, no words were ever spoken
When she passed away, I cried and cried all day
Alone again, alone, naturally
