"Edge Of Seventeen (triple j Like A Version)" lyrics
(originally by Stevie Nicks)
As the day goes by
Like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friend
"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 singing
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah ooh"
Well, I went today
Maybe I'll go tomorrow
Yeah, yeah
The music there, was awfully familiar
When I see you doin' what I tried to do for me
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
And a melody
And nothin' else mattered
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, ooh"
The clouds never expect it to rain
But the sea changes color
Doesn't change
With the slow and graceful flow of age
I set forth with my age-old desire to please
On the edge of seventeen
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
White-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song
Sings a song
Ooooo
Ooooo
White-winged dove
Sings a song
Ooooo
Like a strand in the wind
In the web that is my own
I begin again
Said to my friend
"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 singing
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah ooh"
Well, I went today
Maybe I'll go tomorrow
Yeah, yeah
The music there, was awfully familiar
When I see you doin' what I tried to do for me
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
And a melody
And nothin' else mattered
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, ooh"
The clouds never expect it to rain
But the sea changes color
Doesn't change
With the slow and graceful flow of age
I set forth with my age-old desire to please
On the edge of seventeen
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
White-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, yeah, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song
Sings a song
Ooooo
Ooooo
White-winged dove
Sings a song
Ooooo
