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?
|
|
Picture yourself in 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 I'm 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 I'm 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 I'm 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 (doves cry, doves cry)
|
When doves cry (doves cry, doves cry)
|
