And when she passed away
I truly am, indeed
And visit a nearby tower
Why did He desert me?
What do we do?
With a heart so badly broken
Reality came around
To think that only yesterday
My God, that's tough, she stood him up
And without so much as a mere touch
That can't be mended
Who, if He really does exist
What it's like when you're shattered
No words were ever spoken
Left unattended
But, as if to knock me down
Never wishing to hide the tears
Despite encouragement from me
Cut me into little pieces
Looking forward to wouldn't do
Talk about God in His mercy
At a church where people saying
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
And whatever else that appears
My mother, God rest her soul
Alone again, naturally
No point in us remaining
Alone again, naturally
Couldn't understand why the only man
What do we do?
And at sixty-five years old
Leaving me to doubt
And climbing to the top
The role I was about to play
I promised myself, to treat myself
I remember I cried when my father died
Broken in the world
That there are more hearts
May as well go home
And in my hour of need
Left standing in the lurch
Leaving her to start
It seems to me
She had ever loved had been taken
Throw myself off
As I did on my own
Now, looking back over the years
I cried and cried all day
In an effort to, make clear to whoever
I was cheerful, bright and gay
