Nina Simone "Alone Again (Naturally)" paroles

Alone Again (Naturally)

I remember this afternoonWhen my sister came into the roomShe refused to say how my father wasBut I knew he'd be dying soon

And I was oh so gladAnd it was oh so sadThat I realised that I despisedThis man I once called father

In his hanging on with fingers clutchingHis body now just eighty-eight poundsBlinded eyes still searchingFor some distant dreamThat had faded away at the seamsDying alone, naturally

I was his favourite childI had him a little whileJust as long as I could play the pianoAnd smile a little smile

But just when I needed him the mostHe was already a ghostAnd for all my life there were promisesAnd they always had been broken

Leaving me aloneWith all my troublesNot once ever touching me and sayingDaughter I'll help you get over

Now he's fading awayAnd I'm so glad to sayHe's dying at lastNaturally

It's a very sad thing to seeThat my mother with all her heartBelieved the words that the Bible saidTill death do us two part

For her that was forever and ayeHe deceived her night and dayHow could some English word so smallAffect someone so strangely

Taking her away from usHer soul includedShe might as well be gone with himAll the children are excluded

Loneliness is hellI know so wellFor I'm aloneNaturally

I waited for three weeks for him to dieI waited for three weeks for him to dieEvery night he was calling on meI wouldn't go to himI waited for three weeks for him to dieThree weeks for him to die

And after he died after he diedEvery night I went out every night I had a fightIt didn't matter who it was withCos I knew what it was about

And if you could read between linesMy dad and I are close as fliesI have loved him then and I love him stillThat's why my heart's so broken

Leaving me to doubt God in his MercyAnd if He really does exist then why did He desert meWhen he passed away I smoked and drank all dayAlone again naturally
