Just like the white winged dove...
And the days go by...
He was no more... than a baby then.
Just like the white winged dove...
Well, I went today... maybe I will go again...
Just like the white winged dove...
The clouds...never expect it,
Ooooooooooooooooh.
Just like the white winged dove...
Well, suddenly,
Just like the white winged dove...
Well, I hear you (I hear you).
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.
Like a strand, in the wind...
In the web that is my own,
I begin again.
Said to my friend, baby...
Nothin' else mattered.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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.
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo, baby...ooo...said, ooo
