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 to 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 With people saying: "My God, that's tough She's 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 And as if to knock me down Reality came around And without so much, as a mere touch Cut me into little pieces Leaving me to doubt Talk about God and His mercy Or if He really does exist Why did He desert me in my hour of need I truly am indeed Alone again, naturally
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?
Looking back over the years Whatever else appears I remember I cried when my father died Never wishing to hide my tears
And at sixty-five years old My mother, God rest her soul, Couldn't understand why the only man She`d 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
