Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen lyrics

Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh, ooh, ooh Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh And the days go by like a strand in the wind In the web that is my own, I begin again I said to my friend, baby, nothing 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 Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh Well, 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 try to do for me With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir And a melody And nothing else mattered Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh The clouds never expect it when it rains But the sea changes colors 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 Ooh Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh 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 Well, I went searchin' for an answer Up the stairs and down the hall A-not to find an answer, just to hear the call Of a night bird Singing "Come away" (Come away) Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh Well, I hear you in the morning And I hear you at nightfall And 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 Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh Just like the white winged dove sings a song Sounds like she's singing Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
