58 - Alone Again lyrics

It's who we are<br>It's where we're going<br>And it's where we've been<br><br>In a little while from now<br>If I'm not feeling any less sour<br>I promise myself to treat myself<br>And visit a nearby tower<br>And climbing to the top I will throw myself off<br>In an effort to make it clear to who<br>What it's like when your love shatters<br>Standing in the lurch in a church<br>Where people saying: my god, that's tough<br>She's stood him up<br>No point in us remaining<br>We might as well go home<br>As I did on my own<br>Alone again, naturally<br><br>To think that only yesterday<br>I was cheerful, bright and oh so gay<br>Looking forward to well wouldn't do<br>The role I was about to play<br>But as if to knock me down<br>My reality came around<br>And without so much, as a mere touch<br>Put me into little pieces<br>Leaving me to doubt<br>All about God and his mercy<br>Or if he really does exist<br>Why did he desert me in my hour of need<br>I truly am indeed<br>Alone again, naturally<br><br>It seems to me that there are more hearts<br>Broken in the world that can't be mended<br>Left unattended<br>What do we do? do we even care? <br><br>It's who we are<br>It's where we're going<br>And it's where we've been<br><br>Now looking back over the years<br>And whatever else has occurred<br>I remember I cried when my father died<br>Never wishing to hide the tears<br><br>And at sixty-five years old<br>My mother, God rest her soul,<br>Couldn't understand why the only man<br>She had ever loved had been taken<br>Leaving her to start with a heart so badly broken<br>Despite encouragement from me<br>No words were ever spoken<br>And when she passed away<br>I cried and cried all day<br>Alone again, naturally<br>Alone again, naturally<br><br>It's who we are<br>It's where we're going<br>And it's where we've been
