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.
|
