Lyrics

Step Back Stranger
(Lyrics: C. Webster - Music: M. Novak)

Step back Stranger
Step back stranger, stay where you are
Could be the lone ranger with his hat ajar
Or maybe a bandit with a stolen car
Might be a carrier who just came from afar

Step back stranger, six feet or more
Maybe a pirate who just came ashore
You could be a soldier back from the war
Someone knocking at my front door

CHORUS:
Step back stranger – Friend or foe
Step back stranger –  Nothing is owed
Step back stranger –  With a cough or sneeze
Step back stranger –  Would you please


Step Back Stranger don’t you come near
Maybe you’re the reaper sowing fear
Could you be a thief sneaking in the back door
Or are you the doctor I called for

Step back stranger, give me leeway
Intentions now masked and hidden away
Faces of trust no longer conveyed
Fear is constant in every way

CHORUS:

Instrumental

CHORUS:

Step back stranger, faces now feared
There was a time when faces appeared
Smiling faces have now disappeared
It will take time until the air is cleared

Step Back Stranger
