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, oooo, 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
Well, 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:] 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
I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow, yeah, yeah And the music there it was hauntingly familiar And I see you doing what I try to do for me With the words of a poet and the voice of 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 3x:] Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing, ooo, baby, ooo, said, ooo
