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]
