Edge of Seventeen - 2016 Remaster

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
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, baby (everything's not)
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 (just like the white-winged dove)
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
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 doin' what I try to do for me
With the words of a poet and a voice from a choir
And a melody
And nothin' else mattered

Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
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

So with the slow
Graceful flow of age
I went forth with an age-old
Desire to please
On the edge of seventeen

Ooh, ah

Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Well, then suddenly
There was no one left standin' in the hall
Yeah, yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard 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 night bird
Singin', "Come away" (come away, come away)

Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

Well, I hear you (well, I hear you) in the morning (in the morning)
And I hear you (and I hear you) at nightfall (at nightfall)
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable

To feel 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 (just like the white-winged dove)
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
