Alone Again (Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan
[00:11.25] In a little while from now
[00:13.90] If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:16.56] I promise myself to treat myself
[00:19.21] And visit a nearby tower
[00:22.15] And climbing to the top
[00:24.81] Will throw myself off
[00:27.72] In an effort to
[00:29.05] Make it clear to whoever
[00:30.93] Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
[00:33.59] Left standing in the lurch at a church
[00:37.04] Were people saying, My God, that's tough
[00:40.22] She stood him up
[00:41.55] No point in us remaining
[00:44.47] We may as well go home
[00:47.13] As I did on my own
[00:49.79] Alone again, naturally
[00:55.63] To think that only yesterday
[00:58.29] I was cheerful, bright and gay
[01:01.21] Looking forward to who wouldn't do
[01:03.60] The role I was about to play
[01:06.53] But as if to knock me down
[01:09.44] Reality came around
[01:12.11] And without so much as a mere touch
[01:14.76] Cut me into little pieces
[01:17.68] Leaving me to doubt
[01:19.80] Talk about, God in His mercy
[01:22.99] Oh, if he really does exist
[01:25.91] Why did he desert me
[01:28.83] In my hour of need
[01:31.49] I truly am indeed
[01:34.15] Alone again, naturally
[01:39.99] It seems to me that
[01:41.58] There are more hearts broken in the world
[01:45.05] That can't be mended
[01:47.96] Left unattended
[01:50.35] What do we do
[01:53.01] What do we do
[02:36.04] Alone again, naturally
[02:41.88] Looking back over the years
[02:44.27] And whatever else that appears
[02:46.93] I remember I cried when my father died
[02:49.86] Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:52.77] And at sixty-five years old
[02:55.44] My mother, God rest her soul
[02:58.09] Couldn't understand why the only man
[03:01.01] She had ever loved had been taken
[03:03.67] Leaving her to start
[03:06.06] With a heart so badly broken
[03:09.25] Despite encouragement from me
[03:11.90] No words were ever spoken
[03:15.08] And when she passed away
[03:17.74] I cried and cried all day
[03:20.13] Alone again, naturally
[03:25.71] Alone again, naturally
