Alone Again (Naturally) - Esther Phillips[00:00:00]
In a little while from now[00:00:02]
If I'm not feeling any less sour[00:00:03]
I promise myself to treat myself[00:00:06]
And visit a nearby tower[00:00:09]
And climbing to the top will throw myself off[00:00:11]
In an effort to make it clear to whoever[00:00:16]
What it's like when you're shattered[00:00:19]
Left standing in the lurch at a church[00:00:21]
Where people saying[00:00:24]
My God that's tough[00:00:26]
She stood him up[00:00:28]
No point in us remaining[00:00:29]
We may as well go home[00:00:31]
As I did on my own[00:00:34]
Alone again naturally[00:00:36]
To think that only yesterday[00:00:42]
I was cheerful bright and gay[00:00:44]
Looking forward to who wouldn't do[00:00:47]
The role I was about to play[00:00:49]
But as if to knock me down[00:00:52]
Reality came around[00:00:54]
And without so much as a mere touch[00:00:56]
Cut me into little pieces[00:00:59]
Leaving me to doubt[00:01:02]
Talk about God in His mercy[00:01:04]
Who if He really does exist[00:01:07]
Why did He desert me[00:01:09]
In my hour of need[00:01:11]
I truly am indeed[00:01:14]
Alone again naturally[00:01:16]
It seems to me that there are more hearts[00:01:22]
Broken in the world that can't be mended[00:01:25]
Left unattended[00:01:29]
What do we do What do we do[00:01:31]
Alone again naturally[00:02:20]
Looking back over the years[00:02:21]
And whatever else that appears[00:02:23]
I remember I cried when my father died[00:02:24]
Never wishing to hide the tears[00:02:26]
And at sixty-five years old[00:02:27]
My mother God rest her soul[00:02:30]
Couldn't understand why the only man[00:02:32]
She had ever loved had been taken[00:02:35]
Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken[00:02:38]
Despite encouragement from me[00:02:43]
No words were ever spoken[00:02:45]
And when she passed away[00:02:47]
I cried and cried all day[00:02:50]
Alone again naturally[00:02:52]
Alone again naturally[00:02:55]
