Edge of Seventeen

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like a 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, nothing 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 a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

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 the melody, nothing else mattered

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

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 a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like a white winged dove sings a song

Sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
