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, but 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
All about God and 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
And what ever 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
En a lítol wáil from nau
If áim not fílin eni les sáuer
Ái prómis maiself tu trít maiself
And vízit a nírbai táuer
And cláimin tu de top
Wil tróu maiself óf
In an éfort tu
Meik it klír tu juéver
Wants tu nou wát its láik wen yor shátard
Left stándin in de lérch at a chérch
Wer pípol séin, Mai God, dats táf Shi stud jím ap
No póint in as riméinin
Wi mé as wel go jóm
As ái did on mais óun
Alón agén, nátchurolly
Tu zínk dat óunli yéstordéi
Ái waz chírfol, bráit and géi
Lúkin fórward tu hu wudntu du
De rol ái waz abaut tu pléi
Bát as if tu nok mi dáun
Rialiti kéim aráund
And without súch as a mír tách
Kát mi íntu lítol písiz
Livin mi tu daut
Tók abaut, God in Jis mérsi
Ó, if hi ríli daz égzíst
Wái did hi désert mi
In mai áuer of níd
Ái trúli am indíd
Alón agén, nátchurolly
It síms tu mí dat Der ar mor járts
bróukn in de wárld
Dat kánt bi méndid
Left anaténdid
Wát du wi du
Wát du wi du
Puente largo Cuerda
Alón agén, nátchurolly
Lúkin bák óver de yirs
And watevér éls dat apírs
Ái rimémber ái kráid wen mai fáder dáid
Néver wíshin tu jaid de tírs
And at sísti-fáiv yirs óld
Mai máder, God rést her sóul
Kúdnt anderstánd wái de óunli mán

Livin her tu stárt Wid a jart só bádli bróukn
Dispaít enkúraimént from mi
No wárds wer éver spóukn
And wen shi pást awéi
Ái kráid and kráid ól déi
Alón agén, nátchurolly
Alón agén, nátchurolly
Fin
