Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo-whoo-whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, said, whoo
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, nothing else matters 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 sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Said, whoo, baby, whoo Said, whoo
I went today Maybe I will go again Tomorrow, yeah, yeah And the music there Well, it was hauntingly familiar And I see you doing What I tried to do for me With the words of a poet And the voice of a choir And the melody nothing else matters
Just like the white winged dove sings a sound Just like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, said whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a sound Just like she's singin' Said, whoo, baby, whoo Said, whoo
The clouds never expected with it When it rains but the sea changes colours But the sea does not change And so will the snow, 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 singin' Whoo, baby, whoo, said whoo Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo Said, whoo
