Lyrics Edge of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, ooh, ooh"
Like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"

And the days go by like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own, I begin again
I say to my friend (everything stopped)
But nothin' else mattered

He was no more (he was no more)
Than a baby then
When he seemed broken hearted
Something within him

But the moment that I first laid
Eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen

Like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Says "Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"

Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow
When the music there
Well, it was hauntingly familiar
When 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 (melody)

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin' to you
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"

And the clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes colors
But the sea does not change

And strong 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, it sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby ooh", said "Ooh"
Like the white winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"

Well, then suddenly
There was no one left standing in the hall
Yeah-yeah, in a flood of tears
That no one really gave or heard fall at all

Ooh, 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' "Come away" (come away, come away)

Like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"

Well, I hear you in the morning
And I hear you at nightfall
But some time 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)

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

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
"Do you? Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh", my love

Like the white winged dove (what are you doin'?)
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin' (tryin' to do for me?)
"Ooh, ooh, ooh" (words of a poet)
