Alone Again Naturally
-(words by Gilbert O'Sullivan)

In a little while from now,
If I'm not feeling any less sour.
I promised myself, to treat myself,
And visit a nearby tower
And climbing to the top,
Would throw myself off,
In an effort to, make clear to whoever,
What it's like when your shattered
Left standing in a lurch,
In a church with people saying
My God, that's tough, she stood him up,
No point in us remaining
I 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, and 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, all about God and His mercy,
Oh, if He really does exist,
Why did He desert me?
And in my hour of need,
I truely 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?

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.
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.

More from purgatory

Into my head
Black magic is fed
I worship the dead
No More
The moor
Where the whores
Lead and leave in droves
Expose the truth
Let em loose
The groves
Are guarded
The garden is too
It belongs to me and you
The graves
Are guarded
But the warden is you
The graves
Are guarded
But the warden is you
Pardon yourself
It's time to transfer
Back to Eden
Alive again
Naturally

The Golden Globe

Because the kicker to the whole sorry mess was that, for all that uncomfortable "economy," we ended up paying an eighty percent surcharge on our tickets! As if that third -rate cattle car were some crack liner!  And what did we get for our money? Bone-breaking jackrabbit starts and stops, and six months of free fall with no soap or showers. 

Blue

The modern English word blue comes from Middle English bleu or blewe, from Old French bleu, bleve, blöe, a word of Germanic origin (Frankish or possibly Old High German blāo, "pale, wan, blue-grey").
Blue is associated in Christianity generally and Catholicism in particular, with the Virgin Mary.

Blue in Hinduism: Many of the gods are depicted as having blue-coloured skin, particularly those associated with Vishnu, who is said to be the Preserver of the world and thus intimately connected to water. Krishna and Ram, Vishnu's avatars, are usually blue. Shiva, the Destroyer, is also depicted in light blue tones and is called neela kantha, or blue-throated, for having swallowed poison in an attempt to turn the tide of a battle between the gods and demons in the gods' favour.

Blue in Judaism: In the Torah,^[18] the Israelites were commanded to put fringes, tzitzit, on the corners of their garments, and to weave within these fringes a "twisted thread of blue (tekhelet)".^[19] In ancient days, this blue thread was made from a dye extracted from a Mediterranean snail called the hilazon.
Maimonides claimed that this blue was the colour of "the clear noonday sky"; Rashi, the colour of the evening sky.^[20] According to several rabbinic sages, blue is the colour of God's Glory.
According to several rabbinic sages, blue is the colour of God's Glory.^[21] Staring at this colour aids in mediation, bringing us a glimpse of the "pavement of sapphire, like the very sky for purity", which is a likeness of the Throne of God.^[22] (The Hebrew word for glory.)

Blue in Islam: the colour blue is mentioned in the Quran: In verse 20:102
"The Day the Horn will be blown. And We will gather the criminals, that Day, blue-eyed."
Blue amulets made of lapis lazuli are commonly utilised to symbolise luck in some Muslim cultures.

lapis lazuli

early 15c., from M.L. lapis lazuli, lit. "stone of azure," from L. lapis "stone.

In Thailand, blue is associated with Friday on the Thai solar calendar. Anyone may wear blue on Fridays and anyone born on a Friday may adopt blue as their colour. The Thai language, however, is one that has had trouble distinguishing blue from green.
Many sporting teams make blue their official colour, or use it as detail on kit of a different colour. In addition, the colour is present on the logos of many sports associations.
