Bob Dylan - Love Minus Zero/No limit |
|
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 |
|
People carry roses |
|
And make promises by the hours |
|
My love she laughs like the flowers |
|
Valentines can't buy her. |
|
In the dime stores and bus stations |
|
People talk of situations |
|
Read books, repeat quotations |
|
Draw conclusions on the wall |
|
Some speak of the future |
|
My love she speaks softly |
|
She knows there's no success like failure |
|
And that failure's no succes at all. |
|
The cloak and dagger dangles |
|
Madams light the candles |
|
In ceremonies of the horsemen |
|
Even the 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. |
|
The bridge at midnight trembles |
|
The country doctor rambles |
|
Bankers' nieces seek perfection |
|
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring |
|
The wind howls like a hammer |
|
The night blows rainy |
|
My love she's like some raven |
|
At my window with a broken wing. |
