Edge Of Seventeen (just Like The White Winged Dove) Lyrics - Stevie Nicks

Just like the white winged dove sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Just like the white winged dove sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

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 

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 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Just like the white winged sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

I went today, maybe I will go again tomorrow 

And the music there it was hauntingly familiar 

And I see you doing what I try to do for me 

With the words from a poet and the voice from a choir 

And a melody, nothing else mattered 

Just like the white winged dove sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Just like the white winged sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Photos 

The clouds never expect it when it rains 

But the sea changes colours, 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 

Just like the white winged dove sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Just like the white winged sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Well then suddenly there was no one 

Left standing in the hall 

In a flood of tears that 

No one really ever heard fall at all 

Oh 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 singing "Come away" (Come away) 

Just like the white winged dove sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Just like the white winged sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

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 

(I'm a few years older than you) my love 

Just like the white winged dove sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo 

Just like the white winged sings a song 

Sounds like she's singing 

Whoo, whoo, whoo
