Intro
Chorus 1
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
Verse 1
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 2
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Whoo...baby whoo...tell.
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Ooo baby... ooo... tell
Verse 2
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
(Repeat Chorus 2)
Bridge
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
Breakdown
Em--
(Repeat Chorus 2 x3)
