[Verse 1] I'm walking through the summer nights The jukebox playing low Yesterday everything was going too fast Today it's moving too slow I got no place left to turn I got nothing left to burn Don't know if I saw you if I would kiss you or kill you It probably wouldn't matter to you anyhow You left me standing in the doorway, crying I got...Learn More

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 hours 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...Learn More
