Love Minus Zero/No Limit

The words

A portrait of a calm, wise lover who stays above the noise and posturing of the world around her.

The singer describes his lover, who speaks softly, needs no fuss and knows more than she says. Around her, people boast, argue, chase success and make empty promises, while she stays calm and untouched by it all. The song ends on a still, faintly ominous image of a wounded bird at the window. It is a quiet, admiring love song, set to a gentle band arrangement on the album's electric side.
