Kohoutek Lyrics
[Intro]
Who will stand alone?
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Bridge]
Maybe you're not the problem, scissors, paper, stone
If you stand and holler, these prayers will talk
[Verse 3]
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?
