Intro

Chorus 1

 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...

Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

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...

 Something within him

 But the moment... that I first laid...

Eyes... on... him... all alone...

 On the edge of... seventeen

Chorus 2

 Just like the white winged dove...

 Sings a song...

Sounds like she's singing...

Whoo...baby whoo...tell.

 Just like the white winged dove...

 Sings a song...

Sounds like she's singing...

Ooo baby... ooo... tell

Verse 2

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

(Repeat Chorus 2)

Bridge

 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

Breakdown

Em--

(Repeat Chorus 2 x3)
