My love she speaks like silence

Valentines can't buy her

Dime stores and bus stations

The cloak and dagger dangles

Madams light the candles

In ceremonies of the horsemen

Crumble into one another

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 blows cold n' rainy
D A
My love, she's like some raven
Bm E A
At my window with a broken wing
