Edge Of Seventeen Lyrics

Edge Of Seventeen lyrics

Just like the white winged dove... 

 sings a song ... 

 Sounds like she's singing... 

 whoo...whoo...whoo 

 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 

  

  

 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... 

 whoo...whoo...whoo 

 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 

 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 

  

  

 Just like the white winged dove... 

 sings a song ... 

 Sounds like she's singing... 

 whoo...whoo...whoo 

 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...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... 

 whoo...whoo...whoo 

 Just like the white winged dove... 

 sings a song... 

 Sounds like she's singing... 

 ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo 

  

  

 Well then suddenly... 

 there was no one...left standing 

 In the hall...yeah, yeah... 

 In a flood of tears 

 That no one really ever heard fall at all 

 Oh I went searchin' for an answer... 

 Up the stairs...and down the hall 

 Not to find an answer... 

 just to hear the call 

 Of a nightbird...singing... 

 come away...come away... 

  

  

 Just like the white winged dove... 

 sings a song ... 

 Sounds like she's singing... 

 whoo...whoo...whoo 

 Just like the white winged dove... 

 sings a song... 

 Sounds like she's singing... 

 ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo 

  

  

 Well I hear you in the morning... 

 and I hear you... 

 At nightfall... 

 sometime to be near you... 

 Is to be unable...to hear you... 

 my love... 

 I'm a few years older than you... 

 are (I'm a few years older than you) my love 

  

  

 Just like the white winged dove... 

 sings a song... 

 Sounds like she's singing... 

 ooo baby...ooo...said ...(repeat
