Alone Again (Naturally) Songtext
von Julia Fordham

In a little while from now
If I′m not feeling any less sour
I promised myself to treat myself
And visit a nearby town
And climb into the tub
Well, throw myself out
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 are saying
"My god, that's tough, he stood her up
No point in us remaining
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
Look, if I were 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
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Oh, 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 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
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 a heart so badly broken
Despite encouragement from me
No words were ever spoken
When she passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
