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
