Love Minus Zero / No Limit (Live at The Forum, Inglewood, CA - February 13, 1974)

[Verse 1]
My love, she speaks like silence
Without ideals or violence
Doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true like ice, like fire

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

[Verse 3]
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk over situations
Read books and repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall

[Verse 4]
Some speak of the future
My love, she speaks softly
Knows there's no success like failure
And failure's no success at all

[Verse 5]
The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horsemen
Even a pawn must hold a grudge

[Verse 6]
Statues made of match sticks
Crumble into one another
My love winks, she doesn't bother
She knows not to argue or to judge

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Verse 7]
The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Bankers' nieces seek perfection
Expecting all the gifts that wise men bring

[Verse 8]
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
