lyrics

I’ll Stick Around by Lissa Schneckenburger

When my mother left me it was for my own good
She knew my father’d raise me just like a father should
A father should, a father should

In the nights that followed I held on to what I could
I wrapped her ghost around me just like a mother would
A mother would, a mother would

I see her from time to time
Peaking out from my son’s eyes
I stick around

In the dead of summer with the twilight coming on
The noise of TV mixing with the thumping of my heart
Thump of my heart, thump of my heart

The heat is suffocating I am standing at the sink
I hear my father calling to bring another drink
Another drink, another drink

I see him from time to time
He hides in my daughter’s smile
I stick around

All is dark now, angels sleep
Breathing quiet memories creep
Kiss them softly on the face
“I will be here when you wake,
I will be here when you wake”

Lissa Schneckenburger Brattleboro, Vermont

Thunder in my Arms, Schneckenburger’s first release of all original music, is a song cycle about attachment and trauma. After decades as a traditional fiddler and ballad singer, her personal experience as a foster parent ignited her drive to write stories of family attachment and loss. The music can be at times brazen, resilient and triumphant, softly confessional, or warm and comforting. ... more
