Take 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 this?

Dream if you can a courtyard:

Oceans and violets in bloom

Animals strike curious poses

They feel the heat

The heat between me and you

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 pride

How can you just leave me standing?

Alone in the world so cold

Maybe I'm just too demanding

Maybe I'm just like my father, too cold

Maybe you're just like my mother

She's never satisfied

Never satisfied...with each other

This is what sounds like when the doves cry.

Don't cry. Don't cry.....

Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry. Don't cry

'Cause baby, baby, baby, baby

I'm gonna leave you

I ain't your kin women

I've got you rambled

I'll leave you when the summer comes

Leave you when the summer comes along

'Cause, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby

I'm gonna leave you

Take 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 this?
