Within a little while from now
If I'm not feeling any less sour
I promise myself to risk myself
And visit a nearby forest
And climbing up the tree will chain myself on
In an effort to make it clear to who
Ever what it's like when you're threatened
Left watching in the lurch by the roads
Where people saying: "My God, that's tough
The forest's cut up"
No point in us remaining
You may as well go home
Cause I did on my own
Alone again, naturally

To think that only yesterday
I was cheerful, bright and gay
Looking forward to wouldn't do
The role I was about to play
But as if to knock me down
The sheriff came around
And with a warrant, as per the law
Locked me up in little boxes
Leaving me to doubt
About man and the wildlife
Or if it really should exist
Why did they restrain me
And in my hour of need
I truly am indeed
Alone again, naturally

It seems to me that there are more trees
cut down in the world that can't be planted
Left unharvested
What do we do? What do we do?

Alone again, naturally

And looking back over the years
When everyone stands and fears
I remember I cried when the forest died
Never wishing to dry the tears
And at sixty-five years old
The forest, God rest our souls,
Couldn't ever last while the greedy men
Saw that every tree had been taken
Losing the wildlife with the a land so badly broken
Despite the protesting from me
No saws were ever turned off
And the trees passed away
I cried and cried all day
Alone again, naturally
Alone again, naturally
