When Doves Cry [Live in Dortmund, 1988] Lyrics
[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
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...)
Thank you!
You want some more?
Then come on, y'all
Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey...)
