Bob Dylan Love Minus Zero Lyrics

Love Minus Zero Lyrics

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, or fire



People carry roses

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 talk over situations

Read books, and repeat quotations

Draw conclusions on the wall



Some speak of the future

My love, she speaks softly

Knows there's no success like failure

And that failure's no success at all



Cloak and dagger dangles

Madams light the candles

In ceremonies of the horsemen

Even a pawn must hold a grudge



Statues made of matchsticks

Crumble into one another

My love winks, she doesn't 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 some raven

At my window with a broken wing
