When Doves Cry Lyrics

[00:33.52] Dig if you will the picture
[00:37.18] Of you and I engaged in a kiss
[00:40.93] The sweat of your body covers me
[00:44.98] Can you my darling
[00:46.85] Can you picture this?
[00:48.73] Dream if you can a courtyard
[00:52.37] An ocean of violets in bloom
[00:56.47] Animals strike curious poses
[01:00.15] They feel the heat
[01:01.76] The heat between me and you
[01:03.96] How can you just leave me standing?
[01:07.45] Alone in a world that's so cold? (So cold)
[01:11.36] Maybe I'm just too demanding
[01:15.02] Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
[01:19.19] Maybe you're just like my mother
[01:22.93] She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
[01:26.45] Why do we scream at each other
[01:30.24] This is what it sounds like
[01:32.68] When doves cry
[01:35.26]
[01:49.23] Touch, if you will, my stomach
[01:53.02] Feel how it trembles inside
[01:57.04] You've got the butterflies all tied up
[02:01.10] Don't make me chase you
[02:02.78] Even doves have pride
[02:04.67] How can you just leave me standing?
[02:08.13] Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
[02:12.03] Maybe I'm just too demanding
[02:16.02] Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
[02:19.62] Maybe you're just like my mother
[02:23.39] She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
[02:27.12] Why do we scream at each other
[02:31.23] This is what it sounds like
[02:33.18] When doves cry
[02:35.92]
[02:49.95] How can you just leave me standing?
[02:53.72] Alone in a world that's so cold? (A world that's so cold)
[02:57.52] Maybe I'm just too demanding (Maybe, maybe I'm like my father)
[03:01.38] Maybe I'm just like my father too bold (Ya know he's too bold)
[03:05.19] Maybe you're just like my mother (Maybe you're just like my mother)
[03:08.90] She's never satisfied (She's never, never satisfied)
[03:12.73] Why do we scream at each other? (Why do we scream, why)
[03:16.76] This is what it sounds like
[03:18.66] When doves cry
[03:22.79] When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
[03:27.85]
[03:30.02] When doves cry (Doves cry, doves cry)
[03:33.18] Don't cry (Don't Cry)
[03:37.48] When doves cry
[03:37.76] When doves cry
[03:37.93] When doves cry
[03:38.23] Don't cry
[03:38.24] Darling don't cry
[03:38.57] Don't cry
[03:38.75] Don't cry
[03:39.09] Don't don't cry
[03:39.19]
