Edge of Seventeen (Remaster)

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 (everything stops), baby, nothin' else matters
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 color
But the sea does not change
Sure 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
"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, with a flood of tear left
No one really ever heard it fall at all
When 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, 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 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
"Ooh, baby, ooh", said, "Ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
"Ooh, baby, ooh", said, "Ooh"
