Song 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

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

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


Michael built a bridge, Michael tore it down

If I stand and holler will I stand alone
