how can you leave me standing?
alone in a world that's 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
why do we scream at each other
this is what it sounds like
when doves cry

(yes they cry, oh they cry)

how could you leave me standing?
alone in a world thats so cold?
maybe i'm just too demanding
maybe i'm just like my father -- too bold
maybe im just like my mother
she's never satisfied
why do we scream at each other
this is what it sounds like
when doves cry

(yeah, yeah (echo))
(this is what is sounds like)
(this is what is sounds like)
(this is what is sounds like)
(like (echo))

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

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
(yeah, yeah (echo))

(singing syllables)

(you know that they cry)
(you know that they cry)
(you know that they 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)

why do we scream at each other
this is what it sounds like
when the doves cry
