Love Minus Zero

[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
