In a little

while from now

If I'm not feeling

any less sour

I promise myself

to treat myself

And visit a

nearby tower

And climbing

to the top

will 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

Where people saying

My God that's tough

She's stood him up

No point in us

remaining

You may as well go home

Cause I did on my own

Alone again

naturally

To think that

only yesterday

I was cheerful

bright and gay

Looking forward to well

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

Cut me into

little peaces

Leaving me to doubt

About God and His mercy

Or if He really

does exist

Why did He desert me

And 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

Alone again

naturally

Now looking back

over the years

And whatever

else that appears

I remember I cried

when my father died

Never wishing to

hide the 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 the 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
