Edge Of Seventeen

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Whoo whoo whoo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Ooo baby ooo said ooo
And the days go by Like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friend, baby
Nothin' else mattered
He was no more than a baby then
Well he seemed broken hearted
Something within him
But the moment that I first laid
Eyes on him all alone
On the edge of seventeen
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
ooo baby ooo said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Said Ooo baby ooo said ooo
Well I went today maybe I will go again
Tomorrow
Yea yea well the music there well it was hauntingly
Familiar
Well I see you doing
What I try to do for me With the words from a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody nothing else mattered
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
ooo baby ooo said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Ooo baby ooo said ooo
The clouds never expect it When it rains
But the sea changes color
But the sea
Does not change
And so with the slow graceful flow
Of age
I went forth with an age old
Desire to please
On the edge of seventeen
Oooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Ooo baby ooo said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Ooo baby ooo said ooo
Well then suddenly
There was no one left standing
In the hall yeah yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Well I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
Not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird singing
Come away
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Ooo baby ooo said ooo
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Ooo baby ooo said ooo
Well I hear you in the morning
And I hear you
At nightfall
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you
My love
I’m a few years older than you
My love
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she’s singing
Ooo baby ooo said ooo
