Alone Again (naturally) Lyrics - Wallflower - Diana Krall

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 

Will throw myself right 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, it's tough, she's stood him up 

No point in us remaining 

We might 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 my down 

Reality came around 

And without so much as a mere touch 

Cut me into little pieces 

Leaving me to doubt talk about 

God in His mercy 

Who 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? 

Now looking back over the years 

And whatever else that 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 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
