Nana mouskouri love minus zero no limit lyrics

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



People carry roses



And make promises by the hour



My love she laughs like the flowers



Valentines can't 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



And that failure's no success at all







The cloak and dagger dangles



Madams light the candles



In ceremonies of the horsemen



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







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 wind blows cold n' rainy



My love, she's like some raven



At my window with a broken wing
