Alone again lyrics
by 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
I'd throw myself off
In an effort to, make clear to whoever
What it's like when your shattered

Standing in the lurch
At a church where people saying:
"My God, that's tough, she stood him up
No point in us remaining"

I may as well go home
I decided on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to, and who wouldn't do
The role I was about to play

But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much as a mere touch
Put me into little pieces

Leaving me to doubt
All about God and His mercy
Oh, if He really does exist
Why did He desert me?

And in my hour of need
I trully 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?

Alone again, naturally

In looking back over the years
And whatever else has appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the tears

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 so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken

And when she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
