Judy Collins - Love Minus Zero/No Limit Lyrics
My love, she speaks like silenceWithout ideals or violenceShe doesn't have to say, she's faithfulYet she's true like ice like firePeople carry rosesMake promises by the hoursMy love laughs like the flowersValentines can't buy herIn the dime stores and bus stationsPeople talk of situationsRead books, repeat quotationsDraw conclusions on the wallSome speak of the futureMy love she speaks softlyShe knows, there's no success like failureAnd that failure's no success at allThe cloak and dagger danglesMadams light the candlesIn ceremonies of the horsemenEven the pawn must hold a grudgeStatues made of match sticksCrumble into one anotherMy love winks, she doesn't botherShe knows too much to argue or to judgeThe bridge at midnight tremblesThe country doctor ramblesBankers' nieces seek perfectionExpecting all gifts that wise men bringThe wind howls like a hammerThe night blows cold and rainyMy love, she's like some ravenAt my window with a broken wing
