Alone Again (Naturally) - Jonathan Coulton
[00:11.26] In a little while from now
[00:13.65] If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:16.31] I promise myself to treat myself
[00:19.23] And visit a nearby tower
[00:22.15] And climbing to the top
[00:25.07] Will throw myself off
[00:27.73] In an effort to
[00:29.33] Make it clear to whoever
[00:30.74] Wants to know what it's like when you're shattered
[00:33.66] Left standing in the lurch at a church
[00:37.38] Were people saying, My God, that's tough
[00:40.57] She stood him up
[00:42.17] No point in us remaining
[00:45.35] We may as well go home
[00:48.01] As I did on my own
[00:50.93] Alone again, naturally
[00:56.77] To think that only yesterday
[00:59.43] I was cheerful, bright and gay
[01:02.08] Looking forward to who wouldn't do
[01:05.01] The role I was about to play
[01:07.93] But as if to knock me down
[01:10.85] Reality came around
[01:13.77] And without so much as a mere touch
[01:16.42] Cut me into little pieces
[01:19.35] Leaving me to doubt
[01:21.74] Talk about, God in His mercy
[01:24.93] Oh, if he really does exist
[01:27.85] Why did he desert me
[01:31.03] In my hour of need
[01:33.70] I truly am indeed
[01:36.35] Alone again, naturally
[01:42.20] It seems to me that
[01:44.05] There are more hearts broken in the world
[01:47.24] That can't be mended
[01:50.16] Left unattended
[01:53.08] What do we do
[01:56.27] What do we do
[02:39.30] Alone again, naturally
[02:45.14] Looking back over the years
[02:48.07] And whatever else that appears
[02:50.99] I remember I cried when my father died
[02:53.65] Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:56.57] And at sixty-five years old
[02:59.49] My mother, God rest her soul
[03:02.15] Couldn't understand why the only man
[03:04.80] She had ever loved had been taken
[03:07.99] Leaving her to start
[03:10.38] With a heart so badly broken
[03:13.83] Despite encouragement from me
[03:16.50] No words were ever spoken
[03:19.68] And when she passed away
[03:22.07] I cried and cried all day
[03:24.99] Alone again, naturally
[03:30.84] Alone again, naturally
