Love Minus Zero/No Limit

[Verse 1] My love she speaks like silence Without ideals or violence She doesn't have to say she's faithful Yet she's true, like ice, like fire [Verse 2] People carry roses Make promises by the hours My love she laughs like the flowers Valentines can't buy her [Verse 3] In the dime stores and bus stations People talk of situations Read books, repeat quotations Draw conclusions on the wall [Verse 4] Some speak of the future My love she speaks softly She knows there's no success like failure And that failure's no success at all [Verse 5] The cloak and dagger will dangle Madams light the candles In ceremonies of the horsemen Even a pawn must hold a grudge Statues made of match sticks Crumble into one another My love winks, she does not bother She knows too much to argue or to judge [Verse 6] The bridge at midnight trembles The country doctor rambles Bankers' nieces seek perfection Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring [Verse 7] The wind howls like a hammer The night blows cold and rainy My love she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing
