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
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

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
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Said ooh baby ooh said ooh

Well I went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yeah yeah
And the music there it was
Hauntingly familiar

When I see you doing
What I try to do for me whit the
Words from a poet and the
Voice from a choir and a melody
Nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Said ooh baby ooh said ooh

The clouds never expect it
When it rains
But the sea changes colours
But the sea does not change

So with the slow
Graceful flow of age
I went forth with an age old
Desire to please
On the edge of seventeen

Ooh-ah

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

Well then suddenly
There was no one
Left standing in the hall

Yeah yeah
With a flood of tears there's
That no one really
Ever heard fall at all

Oh 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 come away come away

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

Well I hear you in the morning
And I hear you
At nightfall

Sometime 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
Ooh baby ooh said ooh

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooh baby ooh said ooh
