Little Perennials Lyrics - Despite Our Differences - Indigo Girls

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 

Photos 

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?
