[00:00.000] 作曲 : Raymond O’Sullivan
[00:05.735] In a little while from now
[00:08.125] If I'm not feeling any less sour
[00:10.936] I promise myself to treat myself and visit a nearby tower
[00:15.722]
[00:16.596] And climbing to the top
[00:19.382] Will throw myself off
[00:22.030] In an effort to make it clear to whomever
[00:24.991] What it's like when you're shattered
[00:27.122]
[00:27.820] Left standing in the lurch
[00:30.076] At a church where people saying
[00:33.279] "My God, that's tough, she stood him up
[00:35.925] No point in us remaining"
[00:37.806]
[00:39.044] May as well go home
[00:41.236] As I did on my own
[00:44.381] Alone again, naturally
[00:48.026]
[00:50.051] To think that only yesterday
[00:52.737] I was cheerful, bright and gay
[00:55.459] Looking forward to, well, who wouldn't do
[00:58.565] The role I was about to play
[01:00.149]
[01:01.149] But as if to knock me down
[01:03.902] Reality came around
[01:06.550] And without so much as a mere touch
[01:09.485] Cut me into little pieces
[01:11.237]
[01:12.721] Leaving me to doubt
[01:14.908] Talk about God in His mercy
[01:18.092] Who, if He really does exist
[01:20.720] Why did He desert me?
[01:22.721]
[01:23.894] In my hour of need
[01:26.387] I truly am, indeed
[01:29.270] Alone again, naturally
[01:32.998]
[01:34.700] It seems to me that there are more hearts
[01:37.575] Broken in the world that can't be mended
[01:42.307] Left unattended
[01:44.951] What do we do?
[01:47.703] What do we do?
[01:49.450]
[02:30.440] Alone again, naturally
[02:35.694]
[02:36.081] Looking back over the years
[02:38.888] And whatever else that appears
[02:41.512] I remember I cried when my father died
[02:44.372] Never wishing to hide the tears
[02:46.251]
[02:47.263] And at sixty-five years old
[02:49.944] My mother, God rest her soul
[02:52.584] Couldn't understand why the only man
[02:55.423] She had ever loved had been taken
[02:58.452]
[02:58.753] Leaving her to start
[03:00.879] With a heart so badly broken
[03:04.237] Despite encouragement from me
[03:06.701] No words were ever spoken
[03:08.648]
[03:09.784] When she passed away
[03:12.359] I cried and cried all day
[03:15.300] Alone again, naturally
[03:20.645] Alone again, naturally
