Prince - When Doves Cry Meaning

When Doves Cry Lyrics

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?

Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom
Animals strike curious poses

   I don't think this song is about them(Prince and Apollonia 6), being two different people, like previously mentioned above.While

   and become a woman beater like his dad often a appeared to do.

   Doves stay with one mate, when doves cry I believe it is because these two people are so in love with one another but they can't be together because they have commented to their own life choices, before they knew one another, they had choice their life styles. For instance one may be a substances abuse, the other a Sunday school teacher. "How can two walk together and both have different ideals of how one desires to appreciate their life choices. So they cry in silence, longing for one another. Forbidden desire. Now that is sad, but such is life, I can't love you and me both. So I chose me. That's why doves cry. Love is never enough, only with Jesus

   When Doves Cry is about the contradiction and ulltimate tragedy of two beautiful people who are meant to be together but just can't seem to get along. The reality of their realtionship is as tragic and contradictory as two doves crying. How sad. How ultimately sad.
