    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 whoever
    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 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 who 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 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?
    Alone again, naturally
    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

    My mother and father (german and saudiarabian) used to listen to Uncle Ray's great and marcello marvellous poet poetry even in the 70ies in Jeddah in their white Dodge Magnum car. We went to Al Haddah palace in the desert listening cartridges from ABBA, Boney M and Gilbert o' Sullivan. The man who said I'm a writer not a fighter was a peacer. Rather than all the american, british and german hippies in those days. Ray never changed his style thus remaining faithfull to his own originality. An irish angel who wants peace and love. Fed up with war, violence and arguments. He gives nothing for a white christmas. He wants Peace✌❤

    I heard this when it first came out when I was a youngster but didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics at the time. However, the resonance of the lyrics and the deep emotions conveyed within them has continued to increase over the last 50 years. This song and “She’s leaving home” by The Beatles never fails to bring tears to my eyes.
