Silver Leaf and Snowy Tears

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
 chorus
 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
 chorus
 Forever after this might be
 The fixture on my mantle piece
 The feet are washing whites around
 And nothing growing on the ground
