Lyrics
The weatherman on Channel 3 promised a dusting, February 7th.
You left her key under that cracked terracotta pot by the steps.
You didn't see the taproot of the sky about to split,
Just felt the cold in your teeth and thought, "This is all of it."
[Chorus]
You didn't know the name for that kind of quiet yet.
You were just a boy planting seeds in frozen debt.
[Verse 2]
You stirred the black beans, the whole kitchen smelled of thyme.
She called from the Piggly Wiggly, said "'Get milk,' if you have time."
Just a normal Wednesday, turning the soil in borrowed days,
Believing shelter grew inside that coming winter maze.
[Chorus]
You didn't know the name for that kind of quiet yet.
You were just a boy planting seeds in frozen debt.

[Chorus]
You didn't know the name for that kind of quiet yet.
You were just a boy planting seeds in frozen debt.
(Music cuts. Silence for 4 seconds.)
[Outro]
The snow fell for days.
You swept the porch alone.
