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 broked 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 tommorow, yeah, yeah
And the music there it was hauntingly familiar
And I see you doing what I tried 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 colours but the sea does not change
And so with the slow gracefull 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"
