Edge of Seventeen Lyrics

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Who, who, who
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh, said oh
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

[Chorus:]
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh, said oh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh, said oh
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
[Chorus]

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

[Chorus: x2]

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh said [Repeat: x7]
