Love Minus Zero / No Limit - Take 2, Acoustic

My love, she speaks like silence
 Above ideals and 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 speak of situations
 Read books and repeat quotations
 Draw conclusions on the wall
 While some talk of the future
 My love she talks softly
 She knows there's no success like failure
 And that failure's no success at all
 ♪
 The cloak and dagger dangles
 Madams light the candles
 In ceremonies of the horsemen
 Even the pawns must hold a grudge
 Statues made of matchsticks
 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 cold and rainy
 My love, she's like a raven
 At my window with a broken wing
