When Doves Cry (recorded at Spotify Studios NYC) Songtext
von Sarah Jarosz

Dig if you will a picture
Of you and I engaged in a kiss
The sweat of your body covers me
Can you, my darlin′, picture this?

Dig if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses
They feel the heat
The heat between me and

How can you just leave me standin'
Alone in a world so cold?
Maybe I′m just too demandin'
Maybe I'm just like my father, too bold

Maybe I′m just like my mother
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

How can you just leave me standin'
Alone in a world so cold? (So, cold)
Maybe I′m just too demandin'
Maybe I′m just like my father, too bold

Maybe I'm just like my mother
She's never satisfied
Why do we scream at each other?
This is what it sounds like when doves cry, oh

Oh, how can you just leave me standin′
Alone in a world that′s so cold? (So cold)
Maybe I'm just too demandin′
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, oh, ooh
