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
