Lyrics

0:34Dig if you will a picture
0:37Of you and I engaged in a kiss
0:41The sweat of your body covers me
0:45Can you my darling
0:47Can you picture this
0:49Dream if you can a courtyard
0:52An ocean of violets in bloom
0:56Animals strike curious poses
1:00They feel the heat
1:02The heat between me and you
1:04How can you just leave me standing
1:08Alone in a world that's so cold so cold
1:12Maybe I'm just too demanding
1:15Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
1:19Maybe you're just like my mother
1:23She's never satisfied
1:25She's never satisfied
1:27Why do we scream at each other
1:30This is what it sounds like
1:33When doves cry
1:49Touch if you will my stomach
1:53Feel how it trembles inside
1:57You've got the butterflies all tied up
2:01Don't make me chase you
2:03Even doves have pride
2:05How can you just leave me standing
2:08Alone in a world so cold
2:10World so cold
2:12Maybe I'm just too demanding
2:16Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
2:20Maybe you're just like my mother
2:23She's never satisfied
2:26She's never satisfied
2:27Why do we scream at each other
2:31This is what it sounds like
2:33When doves cry
2:50How can you just leave me standing
2:54Alone in a world that's so cold
2:57A world that's so cold
2:58Maybe I'm just too demanding
3:02Maybe maybe I'm like my father
3:05Maybe I'm just like my father
3:08Maybe you're just like my mother
3:09She's never satisfied
3:10Never never satisfied
3:12Why do we scream at each other
3:17This is what it sounds like
3:19When doves cry
3:23When doves cry doves cry
3:30When doves cry doves cry doves cry
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
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
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Never never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
When doves cry doves cry
When doves cry doves cry doves cry
