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 this
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
Oh they feel the heat, the heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Or maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
Oh she's never satisfied
How can we scream at each other
And this is what it sounds like when 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 you, even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Or maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
Oh she's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry, cry
When doves cry, oh
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you my darling, can you picture this
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
Oh they feel the heat, the heat between me and you
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Or maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
Oh she's never satisfied
How can we scream at each other
And this is what it sounds like when 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 you, even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Or maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother
Oh she's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like when doves cry, cry
When doves cry, oh
