Edge of Seventeen

Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh ooh ooh Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing 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 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 Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing 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 doing What I tried to do for me With the words from a poet And a voice from a choir And a melody nothing else mattered Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Said ooh baby, ooh, said ooh The clouds never expect it When it rains But the sea changes colors 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 Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh 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 Well, 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 Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh Well I hear you in the morning And I hear you At nightfall Sometimes to be near you Is to be unable to feel you My love I'm a few years older than you, my love Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh --- Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks
