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...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo, baby...ooo...said, ooo.

Well, I went today... maybe I will go again...
Tomorrow.
Yeah, yeah, and the music there it was hauntingly...
familiar.
And I see you doing...
What I try to do for me,
With the words of a poet...
And the voice of 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 colours,
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.

Ooooooooooooooooh.

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, suddenly,
There was no one...left standing in the hallway.
Yeah, yeah, in a flood of tears,
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...

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 (I hear you).
In the morning (the morning).
And I hear you (I hear you).
At nightfall (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...
Ooo, baby...ooo...said, ooo
