My love she speaks like silence, |
| [00:08.52] |
Without ideals or violence, |
| [00:12.30] |
She doesn't have to say she's faithful, |
| [00:15.19] |
Yet she's true, like ice, like fire. |
| [00:18.17] |
|
| [00:21.60] |
People carry roses, |
| [00:25.64] |
And then promises by the hours, |
| [00:29.49] |
My love she laughs like the flowers, |
| [00:32.53] |
Valentines can't buy her. |
| [00:35.26] |
|
| [00:38.34] |
In the dime stores and bus stations, |
| [00:42.99] |
People talk of situations, |
| [00:46.62] |
Read books, repeat quotations, |
| [00:49.76] |
Draw conclusions on the wall. |
| [00:52.03] |
|
| [00:55.83] |
Some speak of the future, |
| [01:00.13] |
My love she speaks softly, |
| [01:03.56] |
She knows there's no success like failure |
| [01:06.64] |
And that failure's no success at all. |
| [01:09.06] |
|
| [01:12.56] |
The cloak and dagger dangles, |
| [01:17.21] |
Madams light the candles. |
| [01:20.79] |
In ceremonies of the horsemen, |
| [01:23.88] |
Even the pawn must hold a grudge. |
| [01:27.07] |
|
| [01:30.24] |
Statues made of match sticks, |
| [01:34.30] |
Crumble into one another, |
| [01:37.78] |
My love winks, she does not bother, |
| [01:41.17] |
She knows too much to argue or to judge. |
| [01:44.97] |
|
| [02:04.17] |
The bridge at midnight trembles, |
| [02:08.67] |
The country doctor rambles, |
| [02:12.25] |
Bankers' nieces seek perfection, |
| [02:15.34] |
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring. |
| [02:18.22] |
|
| [02:21.31] |
The wind howls like a hammer, |
| [02:25.81] |
The night blows rainy, |
| [02:29.59] |
My love she's like some raven |
| [02:32.63] |
At my window with a broken wing. |
