My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
She doesnât have to say sheâs faithful
Yet sheâs true, like ice, like fire
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines canât 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 thereâs no success like failure
And that failureâs 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
Bankersâ 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 sheâs like some raven
At my window with a broken wing
