When Doves Cry [Live in Dortmund, 1988]

[Intro]

Clap your hands, y'all

[Verse 1]

Dig, if you will, the picture

Of you and I engaged in a kiss

The sweat of your body covers me

Can you, my darling?

Can you picture this?

[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 you

[Chorus]

Everybody

(How can you just leave me standing

Alone in a world that's so cold?)

A world so cold

(Maybe I'm just too demanding)

Maybe

(Maybe I'm just like my father: too bold)

You know, you know, you know he's too bold

(Maybe you're just like my mother)

Maybe you're just like my mother

(She's never satisfied)

She's never satisfied

(Why do we scream at each other?)

Why?

(This is what it sounds like)

When doves cry

[Outro]

Thank you!

You want some more?

Then come on, y'all

Hey, hey, hey, hey

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...)
