Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oooh... Ooh... Oooh...
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo baby... Oooh... said oooh

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(Everything's alright), baby
Nothin' else mattered

He was no more(He was no more...)
than a baby then
Well he... seemed broken hearted
Something within him
At 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
Ooo baby... Oooh... said oooh...
Just like the one winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing... said
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo

I went today, maybe I will go again
Tomorrow
Yeah, Yeah...
Well the music there well it was hauntingly
Familiar
Well I see you doing
What I tried to do for me
With the words from a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody
Nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...
Oooh baby... Oooh... said oooh
Just like the white winged dove...
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing... said
Oooh baby... oooh... said oooh

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

Ooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaahhhhh...

(Guitar Solo)

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing
Oooh baby... Oooh... said oooh...
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oooh baby... Oooh... said oooh

Well then suddenly
There was no one... left standing
In the hall
Yeah yeah
With 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 [bad word] away... [bad word] away [bad word] away)

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo... baby... Oooh... said Oooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oooh... baby.. Oooh... said oooh

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)
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
Oooh baby... Oooh... said oooh...
