Edge of Seventeen - Live 1982; 2016 Remaster

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
 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 stopped), baby
 Nothin' else mattered
 He was no more (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
 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 doin' what I try 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
 Ooh, baby ooh, said ooh
 Just like the white winged dove
 Sings a song sounds like she's singing
 Ooh, baby ooh, said ooh
 And the clouds never expect it when it rains
 But the sea changes colour 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
 Ooh, ahh
 (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
 (Ooh-ooh-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 hallway
 No, no in a flood of tears no one really ever heard it fall
 
 Well, I went searchin' for an answer, up the stairs and down the hall
 And I did not find an answer just to hear the call of a night bird
 Singing come away (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
 Ooh, baby ooh, said ooh
 Well, I hear you (well, I hear you), in the morning (in the morning)
 I hear you (I hear you), nightfall (nightfall)
 Sometimes to be near you, to be unable to hear you, my love
 I'm a few years older than you (I'm a few years older than you)
 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
 I hear the call of a night bird
 I hear the call of a night bird
 I hear the call of a night bird
 I hear the call of a night bird
 I hear the call of a night bird
 I still hear the call of a night bird
 I hear the call of a night bird
 I still hear the call of a night bird
 
 I hear the call of a night bird
