Kris McKay - When Doves Cry

To Rate
Verse 1
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—?

Verse 2
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—

Chorus
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Yeah, maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
So why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Verse 3
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 'cause even doves have—
Chorus
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Yeah, maybe I'm just like my father, too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
You know, she's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Chorus
How can you just leave me standing
Alone in a world that's so cold?
Well, maybe I'm just too demanding
Yeah, maybe I'm just like my father
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Oh, why do we scream, why?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Outro
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh, oh yeah
