Love minus zero / No limit

Bob Dylan

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 hour
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 success 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 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 wind blows cold n' rainy My love, she's like some raven At my window with a broken wing
