Edge Of Seventeen

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

ooo ooo ooo

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

I went today maybe I will go again

Tomorrow

And the music there it was hauntingly

Familiar

And I see you doing

What I try to do for me

With 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

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

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

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
