"Everyone wants to know if it's and autobiographical song," said Gilbert, "based on my father's early death [when Ray was only eleven]. Well, the fact of the matter is, I didn't know my father very well, and he wasn't a good father anyway. He didn't treat my mother very well." "Alone Again (Naturally)" was first released in the States in the summer of 1972 and first caught fire in Philadelphia. Before long, it had sold more than three million copies and earned three Grammy Award nominations (Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, Song of the Year, and Record of the Year). In his native Ireland, Gilbert was voted Top International Singer of 1972, and in England, he was named Songwriter of the Year by the Songwriters' Guild of Great Britain. UPI also offered Gilbert an award, but it's doubtful that Gilbert accepted. They called him "the worst potential influence on the direction of pop music since Tiny Tim." They gave his record their "Schlock Rock Trophy" of the year.

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 Words/Music by Raymond O'Sullivan 再次孤獨(自然而然地) 吉伯特歐蘇利文 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
