I Remain
from Curious Wail by Mothers Fathers Sisters Brothers
lyrics
Maybe I'm too much like my father
A stubborn man trying to change his ways
Twice divorced a living martyr
But celebrates his wedding days
Wears his gloves in the kitchen
A victim of sensitive skin
He says it skips a generation
From his grandpa to him
What's comes what stays
What's lost what remains
Will you call out my name
What's lost what stays
And I'll remain
Do I love just like my mother
A wounded heart trying to change her ways
To find ourselves in circumstances where
We can play the renegade
And oh brother do you hear me
Though my voice comes from far away
And oh sister though you miss me
I'll kiss you on your wedding day
What's lost what stays
What comes what may
Will you call out my name
What comes what stays
And I'll remain
A stubborn man trying to change his ways
Twice divorced a living martyr
But celebrates his wedding days
Wears his gloves in the kitchen
A victim of sensitive skin
He says it skips a generation
From his grandpa to him
What's comes what stays
What's lost what remains
Will you call out my name
What's lost what stays
And I'll remain
Do I love just like my mother
A wounded heart trying to change her ways
To find ourselves in circumstances where
We can play the renegade
And oh brother do you hear me
Though my voice comes from far away
And oh sister though you miss me
I'll kiss you on your wedding day
What's lost what stays
What comes what may
Will you call out my name
What comes what stays
And I'll remain
