Kohoutek lyrics

Who will stand alone?

She carried ribbons, she wore them out

Courage built a bridge, jealousy tore it down

At least it's something you've left behind

And like Kohoutek, you were gone

[Chorus]

We sat in the garden, we stood on the porch

I won't deny myself, we never talked

She wore bangles, she wore bells on her toes

And she jumped like a fish

Like a flying friend, you were gone

Like Kohoutek, can't forget that

[Chorus]

Fever built a bridge, reason tore it down

If I am one to follow, who will stand alone?

Maybe you're not the problem, scissors, paper, stone

If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk

She carried ribbons, she wore them out

Michael built a bridge, Michael tore it down

At least it's something you've left behind

Like Kohoutek, you were gone

[Chorus]

Michael built a bridge, Michael tore it down

If I stand and holler, will I stand alone?
