LYRICS
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
To 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
With 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
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
Talk about God and 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?
Looking back over the years
Whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide my 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 (Leaving her to start with a heart)
So badly broken (So badly broken)
Despite encouragement from me (encouragement from me)
No words were ever spoken (words were ever spoken)
And when she passed away (when she passed away)
I cried and cried all day (cried and cried all day)
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally (Alone again, naturally)
