Edge of Seventeen Lyrics by The Wind and The Wave

Covers One

[Refrain]
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'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
[Verse 1]
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
He was no more
Than a baby then
Well, he seemed broken hearted
Somethin' within him
But the moment
That I first laid
Eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen
[Refrain]
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'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
[Verse 2]
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 their words of a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody
Nothin' else mattered
[Refrain]
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'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
[Verse 3]
The clouds never expect it
When it rains
But the sea changes colours
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
[Bridge]
Oh.....
Yeah, yeah
[Refrain]
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'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
[Verse 4]
Well then suddenly
There was no one left standing
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
Not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird singin'
[Refrain]
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'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
[Verse 5]
Well, I hear you
In the morning
And I hear you
At nightfall
Sometime to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you
My love
I'm a few years older than you
[Refrain]
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'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
