Edge of Seventeen - 2016 Remaster

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, 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's not)

Nothin' else mattered

He was no more (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 (just like the white-winged dove)

Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'

Said, ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Well, I went today

Maybe I will go again tomorrow

Yeah, yeah

Well, the music there, well, it was hauntingly familiar

When I see you doin' what I try to do for me

With the words of a poet and a voice from a choir

And a melody

And nothin' else mattered

Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)

Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Just like the white-winged dove

Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'

Said, ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

The clouds never expect it

When it rains, but the sea

Changes color, but the sea

Does not change

So with the slow

Graceful flow of age

I went forth with an age-old

Desire to please

On the edge of seventeen

Ooh, ah

Just like the white-winged dove

Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Just like the white-winged dove

Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Well, then suddenly

There was no one left standin' in the hall

Yeah, yeah

In a flood of tears

That no one really ever heard fall at all

When I went searchin' for an answer

Up the stairs and down the hall

And not to find an answer, just to hear the call

Of a night bird

Singin', "Come away" (come away, come away)

Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)

Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Just like the white-winged dove

Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Well, I hear you (well, I hear you) in the morning (in the morning)

And I hear you (and I hear you) at nightfall (at nightfall)

Sometimes to be near you

Is to be unable

To feel you

My love

I'm a few years older than you

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

Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)

Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Just like the white-winged dove

Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'

Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
