The Virgin Suicides movie - Alone Again, Naturally lyrics
rate meSong by Gilbert O'Sullivan<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 will throw myself off<br>
In an effort to make it clear to who<br>
Ever what it’s like when you’re shattered<br>
Left standing in the lurch at 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 may 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 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>
Reality came around<br>
And without so much, as a mere touch<br>
Cut me into little pieces<br>
Leaving me to doubt<br>
Talk 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 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? What do we do?<br>
<br>
Alone again, naturally<br>
Now looking back over the years<br>
And whatever else that appears<br>
I remember I cried when my father died<br>
Never wishing to hide the tears<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>
