Edge of Seventeen (Live)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

Ooo ooo ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

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

I said Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

I said Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

Well I went today

Maybe I will go again tomorrow

Yea yea well the music there

Well it was hauntingly familiar

Well I see you doing what I try 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

I said Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

I said Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

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

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

I said Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

I said Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

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

And 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

Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

I said Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

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

I'm a few years older than you

My love

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song sounds like she's singing

Ooo baby ooo

Said Ooo
