little perennials (studio excerpt) Lyrics
Back in the long stretch of loneliness
I have come to call a living,
I'm getting something for all this love's labor,
Even when I am forgetting.Oh we oh oh little perennials
Where'd you come from?Daughter of my father's second cousin,
Loyalties, I got em by the dozen.
We share a past, we share a blood relation
And that's as good as an invitation.Oh we oh oh little perennials
Where'd you come from?I'm in the North Carolina Mountains,
Just to the west of where I met my calling.
If you look south to the foothills of these mountains rising,
That's the place where it feels good falling.
That's the place that I know.I look for words to fill the empty spaces,
All the life revealed in these back stages.
I reach for names like little puzzle pieces;
Oh perennial, come to me.Oh we oh oh little perennials
Where'd you come from?
