Alone Again (Naturally) - Lyrics by Gilbert Osullivan


Lyrics
Oh in a little while from nowif I'm not feeling anyless sour
I promise myself to treat myselfand visit a nearby towerand climbing to the topwill throw myself offin an effort to make it clearto whoever what it's like when you're shatteredleft standing in the lurch at a churchwhere people saying 'my godthat's tough she's stood him upno point in us remainigwe may as well go home'as I did on my ownalone again naturally.
To think that only yesterday
I was cheerrfulbright and gaylooking forward to well who wouldn't dothe role I was about to playbut as if to knock me downreality came aroundand without so muchas a mere touchcut me into little piecesleaving me to doubt talk aboutgod in his mercy who ifhe really does existwhy did he desert me in my hour of need
I truly am indeedalone again naturally.
It seems to me that there are more heartsbroken in the world that can't be mendedleft unattended what do we do what do we doalone again naturally.
Now looking back over the yearsand whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father diednever wishing to hide the tearsand at sixty-five years oldmy mother
God rest her soulcouldn't understand whythe only man she had ever loved had been takenso badly broken despiteencouragemant from me no words were ever spokenand when she passed away
I cried and cried all dayalone again naturally.
