OH 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
WILL THROW MYSELF OFF
IN AN EFFORT TO
MAKE IT CLEAR
TO WHOEVER
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 STOOD HIM UP
NO POINT
IN US REMAINING
WE MAY AS WELL
GO HOME
AS I DID ON MY OWN
ALONE AGAIN
NATURALLY
TO THINK THAT
ONLY YESTERDAY
I WAS CHEERFUL
BRIGHT AND GAY
LOOKING FORWARD TO
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
TALK ABOUT
GOD IN HIS MERCY
FOR IF HE REALLY
DOES EXIST
WHY DID HE DESERT ME
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
FROM 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 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
