[00:00.26]Alone Again(Naturally) - Gilbert O'Sullivan
[00:01.69]Lyrics by:Gilbert O'Sullivan
[00:02.87]Composed by:Gilbert O'Sullivan
[00:11.12]In a little while from now
[00:13.46]If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:16.08]I promised myself to treat myself
[00:18.73]And visit a nearby tower
[00:21.41]And climbing to the top
[00:24.08]Will throw myself off
[00:26.62]In an effort to make it clear to whoever
[00:29.71]What it's like when you're shattered
[00:32.03]Left standing in the lurch at a church
[00:35.37]Where people are saying
[00:37.39]My God that's tough she stood him up
[00:39.92]No point in us remaining
[00:42.79]We may as well go home
[00:45.21]As I did on my own
[00:47.95]Alone again naturally
[00:53.23]To think that only yesterday
[00:55.89]I was cheerful bright and gay
[00:58.57]Looking forward to but who wouldn't do
[01:01.26]The role I was about to play
[01:03.84]But as if to knock me down
[01:06.51]Reality came around
[01:09.24]And without so much as a mere touch
[01:11.92]Cut me into little pieces
[01:14.82]Leaving me to doubt
[01:16.93]All about God and His mercy
[01:19.92]For if He really does exist
[01:22.78]Why did He desert me
[01:25.39]In my hour of need
[01:27.81]I truly am indeed
[01:30.57]Alone again naturally
[01:35.86]It seems to me that
[01:37.46]There are more hearts
[01:38.94]Broken in the world
[01:40.58]That can't be mended
[01:43.17]Left unattended
[01:45.82]What do we do
[01:48.54]What do we do
[02:29.75]Alone again naturally
[02:35.34]Now looking back over the years
[02:38.08]Whatever else that appears
[02:40.56]I remember I cried when my father died
[02:43.29]Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:45.88]And at sixty-five years old
[02:48.60]My mother God rest her soul
[02:51.24]Couldn't understand why the only man
[02:53.99]She had ever loved had been taken
[02:56.81]Leaving her to start with a heart
[02:59.99]So badly broken
[03:01.96]Despite encouragement from me
[03:04.62]No words were ever spoken
[03:07.52]And when she passed away
[03:09.90]I cried and cried all day
[03:12.57]Alone again naturally
[03:18.02]Alone again naturally
