Patti Smith – When Doves Cry
Intro:
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?
Dig if you will a courtyard
An ocean of violets so blue
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 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
Why must we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like , When doves cry
Touch if you will my belly
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?
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
Why must we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like When doves cry
(x2)
Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets so blue
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? (Alone in a world so)
Maybe I’m just too demanding
Maybe I’m just like my father too bold
Maybe I'm just like my mother (like my mother)
She’s never satisfied (satisfied)
Why must we scream at each other (scream at each other)
This is what it sounds like (Oh baby, the doves are crying)
When doves cry
Why must we scream at each other
Oh darling, the doves are crying
