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

Well, 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, 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 colors 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

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
