(capo on 2nd fret, tune 6th string down 2 frets, play as if in D,
use E harmonica)
My love she speaks like silence
Without ideals of violence
She doesn't have to say she's faithful
Yet she's true like ice, like fire.
People carry roses
And make promises by the hour
My love, she laughs like the flowers
Valentines cant 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 there's no success like failure } famous
And failure's no success at all } couplet
The cloak and dagger dangles
Madams light the candles
In ceremonies of the horseman
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.
...< nice harmonica break >...
The bridge at midnight trembles
The country doctor rambles
Banker's 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.
...that is as best as my memory can provide for now...
