Artist: Gilbert O'Sullivan
Song: Alone Again, Naturally

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 off
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you’re shattered
Left standing in the lurch at a church
Where people saying: "My God, that’s tough
She's stood him up"
No point in us remaining
We may 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 well wouldn’t do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
Reality came around
And without so much, as a mere touch
Cut me into little pieces
Leaving me to doubt
Talk about God and His mercy
Or 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?

Alone again, naturally
Now looking back over the years
And whatever else that appears
I remember I cried when my father died
Never wishing to hide the 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

過了一會兒
如果我感覺不到一點心酸
我會承諾好好的對待自己
參觀附近的一座高塔
爬到最高處，想就此一躍而下
努力想對旁人釐清這一切
當你粉身碎骨被遺棄在教堂裡，那會是什麼情景？
那裡的人們說：「上帝啊！太難了」
「她已承受不了」
「我們也沒有立場」
「倒不如我們回家好了」
如同過去獨來獨往的我
再次孤獨，自然而然地

想想不過是昨天而已
那時的我興高采烈、心情愉快
期待有人不願意擔任我曾經演的角色
如果將我擊倒
現實紛至沓來
即使沒有太多輕微的觸動
也能將我切成碎片
留下許多的疑惑
說到上帝的垂憐
如果祂真的存在
為何祂要棄我於不顧？
在我需要祂的時刻
我是真的非常需要祂啊！

再次孤獨，自然而然地

對我來說，這世上有太多破碎的心
無法修補，無人眷顧
我們能做什麼？
我們究竟能做什麼？

再次孤獨，自然而然地

回首過往的歲月
往事歷歷如昨
記得父親過世時，我哭了
不想刻意去掩飾淚水
六十五歲那年
我的母親，上帝讓她的靈魂安息
她始終無法明白
她唯一愛過的人為什麼會被奪走？
留下她一個人開始心碎難過的活著
無視於我對她的鼓勵
她從此不發一語
她去世以後
我整天哭了又哭........

再次孤獨，自然而然地
再次孤獨，自然而然地
