When Doves Cry Lyrics
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?
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
How do you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding, maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why don't we scrеam at each other?
This is what it sounds like, whеn doves cry
Touch, if you will, my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase, even doves have pride
How do you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding, maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why don't we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like, when doves cry
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you, my darling? Can you picture?
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
How do you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding, maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why don't we scrеam at each other?
This is what it sounds like, whеn doves cry
Touch, if you will, my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase, even doves have pride
How do you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding, maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why don't we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like, when doves cry
How do you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold?
How do you just leave me standing
Maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
How do you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding, maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why don't we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like, when doves cry
When doves cry
Alone in a world so cold?
How do you just leave me standing
Maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
How do you just leave me standing
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding, maybe I'm just like my father: too cold
Maybe I'm just like my mother, she's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why don't we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like, when doves cry
When doves cry
