Lyrics

When Doves Cry

[Verse 1] Dig, if you will, a picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss The sweat of your body covers me Can you, my darling, can you picture—? [Verse 2] Dream, if you can, a courtyard An ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses They feel the heat, the heat between me and— [Chorus] How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that's so cold? Maybe I'm just too demanding Yeah, maybe I'm just like my father, too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied So why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry [Verse 3] Touch, if you will, my stomach Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase you 'cause even doves have— [Chorus] How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that's so cold? Maybe I'm just too demanding Yeah, maybe I'm just like my father, too bold Maybe you're just like my mother You know, she's never satisfied Why do we scream at each other? This is what it sounds like when doves cry [Guitar Solo] [Chorus] How can you just leave me standing Alone in a world that's so cold? Well, maybe I'm just too demanding Yeah, maybe I'm just like my father Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied Oh, why do we scream, why? This is what it sounds like when doves cry [Outro] Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh yeah Oh, oh yeah
