Silver Leaf and Snowy Tears

Silver leaf and snowy tears

Wish I could have frozen time this year

With you know nothing grows up here

It's all silver leaf and snowy tears

You know nothing grows up here

You know nothing grows up

I'm digging in the permafrost

I'm scratching out the lines I never thought you'd cross

I'm sending up a flare for roaming dogs uncaught

In hopes that they might drag you home

Silver leaf and snowy tears

What buried box of luck could you not find here?

Stamp some feelings back into my legs

I guess I'll freeze to death before, before I'll beg

You know nothing grows up here

You know nothing

I'm digging in the permafrost

I'm scratching out the lines I never thought you'd cross

I'm sending up a flare for roaming dogs uncaught

In hopes that they might drag you home

Forever after this might be

The fixture on my mantelpiece

Your feet awash in white surround

And nothing growing on the ground
