Silverleaf and snowy tears   Wish I could have frozen time this year   You know nothing grows up here   It's all silver leaf and snowy tears      You know nothing grows up here      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 mantle piece   The feet are washing whites around   And nothing growing on the ground
