Lyrics

[Verse 1] Back in the long stretch of loneliness That I've come to call a living I'm getting something for all this love's labor Even when I am forgetting [Chorus] (We oh) And oh we oh oh (We oh), little perennials (We oh) (We oh) Where'd you come from? [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] (We oh) And oh we oh oh (We oh), little perennials (We oh) (We oh) Where'd you come from? (We oh, we oh) (We oh) And oh we oh oh (We oh), little perennials (We oh) (We oh) Where'd you come from? [Bridge] 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 (The best) That's the place where it feels good falling (The best) That's the place that I know (Where it feels good falling) [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] (We oh) And oh we oh oh (We oh), little perennials (We oh) (We oh) Where'd you come from? (We oh, we oh) (We oh) And oh we oh oh (We oh), little perennials (We oh) (We oh) So where'd (We oh) you come from?
