"Edge Of Seventeen" lyrics
(originally by Stevie Nicks)
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, 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
Somethin' 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 singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again
Tomorrow, yeah, yeah
Well, the music there
Well it was hauntingly familiar
When I see you doin'
What I try to do for me
With their words of a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody
Nothin' else mattered
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
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
Oh...
Yeah, yeah
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Well then suddenly
There was no one left standing
In the hall, yeah, yeah
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
When 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'
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, 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
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, 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

Well, he seemed broken hearted
Somethin' within him
But the moment

All alone on the edge of seventeen
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo
Well, I went today
