When Doves Cry Lyrics by Ani Difranco

When Doves Cry

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?

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 too bold [ya know hes too bold]
Maybe youre 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]
