Edge of Seventeen - Live 1982; 2016 Remaster

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

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 stopped), baby
Nothin' else mattered

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 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 went today maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yeah, yeah, well, the music there, well, it was hauntingly familiar
Well, I see you doin' 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
Ooh, baby ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby ooh, said ooh

And the clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes colour 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

Ooh, ahh
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)

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 hallway
No, no in a flood of tears no one really ever heard it fall
Well, I went searchin' for an answer, up the stairs and down the hall
And I did not find an answer just to hear the call of a night bird
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 (well, I hear you), in the morning (in the morning)
I hear you (I hear you), nightfall (nightfall)
Sometimes to be near you, to be unable to hear you, my love
I'm a few years older than you (I'm a few years older than you)

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

I hear the call of a night bird
I hear the call of a night bird
I hear the call of a night bird
I hear the call of a night bird
I hear the call of a night bird
I still hear the call of a night bird
I hear the call of a night bird
I still hear the call of a night bird
I hear the call of a night bird
