[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
People carry roses
And make promises by the hours
My love, she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her

[Verse 3]
A bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring

[Verse 4]
The wind howls like a hammer
And the night blows cold and rainy
My love, she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 5]
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall

[Verse 6]
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

[Outro]
Ah, ah, ah
Ah, ah, ah
Ah
