Little Perennials

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