Lyrics

[Verse 1] My love, she speaks like silence Without ideals or violence She doesn't have to say she's faithful But she's true like ice, like fire [Verse 2] People carry roses Make promises by the hours My love 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 dangles Madams light the candles In ceremonies of the horsemen Even the pawn must hold a grudge [Verse 6] Statues made of matchsticks crumble into one another My love winks, she does not bother She knows too much to argue or to judge [Verse 7] The bridge at midnight trembles The country doctor rambles Bankers' nieces seek perfection Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring [Chorus] The wind howls like a hammer The night goes rainy My love, she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing [Verse 8] My love, she speaks like silence Without ideals or violence She doesn't have to say she's faithful To all the gifts that wise men bring [Chorus] The wind howls like a hammer The night goes rainy My love, she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing
