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?
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 can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold?
So cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding,
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold,
Maybe you're just like my mother,
She's never satisfied,
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
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 so cold?
World so cold
Maybe I'm just too demanding,
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold;
Maybe you're just like my mother,
She's never satisfied,
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like,
When doves cry.
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's so cold?
A world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding?
Maybe, maybe I'm like my father?
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold?
Ya 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, never satisfied.
Why do we scream at each other?
Why do we scream, why?
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry.
When doves cry.
When doves cry.
When doves cry.
When doves cry.
When doves cry.
Don't cry.
