Edge of Seventeen (Live)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, 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 (Everything stops)

You know nothing else matters

He was no more than a baby then

Well, well, he seemed broken-hearted

It was something within him

Ooh, but the moment that I first laid

Eyes on him

All alone on the edge of seventeen (Somewhere just out on the edge of seventeen)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing to you

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Well, then suddenly

There was no one left standing in the hall

Well, well, in a flood of tears

That no one really ever heard fall

I went searching for an answer

Up the stairs and down the hall

I did not find an answer

But I did hear the call

Of a nightbird

Singing, come away, come down (Come away, come away)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing to you

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Well, I hear you (Well, I hear you)

In the morning (The morning)

Baby, I hear you (But I hear you)

At nightfall (At nightfall)

Sometimes to be near you

Is to be unable to hear you

My love

I'm a few years older than you are

(Well, I'm a few years older than you)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing to you

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

I hear the call of a nightbird

I still hear the call of a nightbird

And she said, "Somewhere deep in the middle of the night, baby

I think about you"

Yes, she said, "Somewhere deep in the middle of the night, my baby

I think about you"

She said, "I know what it sounds like

Yes, I know what it sounds like

I know what it sounds like

It sounds like you, you, you"

"I know what it sounds like

I know what it sounds like

When doves fly"
