Joan Baez - 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 fire, like ice

People carry roses
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, read deep 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 and rainy
My love, she's like some raven
At my window with a broken wing"

Nobody sings Dylan like Dylan but Joan Baez

This is the best version of this song

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of a very beautiful lady I once knew who was murdered - hope her soul is at peace now Her name was Cheril Tilley.

That lady could sing the phone book.

Joan Baez is wonderful🌾🌾🌾

Certainly Joan masters the phrasing of the lyrics and flow of the melody so effortlessly ....who among them could resist this perfect version?

“she knows that there is no success like failure and that failure is no success at all” - genius lyrics.

Super Marky that Bob Dylan for ya!

This was our wedding song,I had our sister sing it .....

beautiful

In my opinion, the guitar arrangements spoil Dylan's song. Awesome voice.

Joan sings it well. But the electric sitar is kind of a 1960s artifact. And I was there in the 1960s ;)

Daniel Martín i had a dad by this name. Step dad any what about the musicbbother's you lad?

What if Joan and Bob had never broken up? Where would we be now?

they couldve done some amazing songs together

Surely one would have killed the onter one!!

Stuck in folk music.

I had never heard it until my baby sent it to me, and I'm a singer ,go figure lol.

Also heare...good,so as you can... but the Walker Brothers is the best
