The Ian Black Band - Why Do Doves Cry? lyrics

[VERSE 1] Sometimes in the dark of night She cries herself to sleep For there is the only place To escape her endless screams [VERSE 2] And it's a matter of time A brief lapse of reason To open ourselves to the truth And close our eyes to the pain All she wants to know Is why [CHORUS] Why do doves cry? Nobody knows How can one survive When you're all alone Why you look surprised At what I say Why do doves cry? [BRIDGE 1] Taken for granted Taken for a ride Taken forever Oh they've taken her pride All she wants to know Is why [CHORUS] Why do doves cry? Nobody knows How can one survive When you're all alone Why you look surprised At what I say Why do doves cry? [BRIDGE 2] So many people So many lies So many victims So many cries They all want to know [CHORUS] Why do doves cry? Nobody knows How can one survive When you're all alone Why you look surprised At what I say Why do doves cry?
