Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
[Verse 2]
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 3]
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
[Verse 4]
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's 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
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
[Verse 5]
Oh, when they cry
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
[Verse 6]
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
[Verse 7]
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world that's 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
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
[Verse 8]
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
Oh, when they cry
This is what it sounds like when doves cry
