Back in the long stretch of loneliness
G D C G

even when I am forgetting.

loyalties, I got em by the dozen.

I'm in the North Carolina Mountains,

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
G D C G
oh perennial, come to me.

Oh we oh oh little perennials
