Edge Of Seventeen

[Chorus] 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] 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] 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 [Chorus] 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 Oh baby, oh, said [Repeats]
