WHEN DOVES CRIED

DOVES CRIED TODAY IN MINNESOTA
PURPLE RAIN FELL FROM THE SKY
A RED CORVETTE DROVE DOWN A HIGHWAY
AS THE WORLD BID A PRINCE GOOD BYE
HIS FANS ALL BLEW HIM A KISS
AND THE MUSIC WORLD PAUSED TO SIGH
AS A GIRL WITH A RASPBERRY BERET
SHED A TEAR AND WALKED ON BY.
THE PRINCE WHO LED THE REVOLUTION
AND PARTIED LIKE ITS 99
WAS ON THE FEEDS OF ALL THE NATION
AND IN FANS HEARTS AND ON THEIR MINDS.
