Superchunk - Silverleaf And Snowy Tears lyrics

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 d**h 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
