Edge Of Seventeen - Stevie Nicks lyrics

rate me

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh, ooh, ooh<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh said, ooh<br />

<br />

And the days go by<br />

Like a strand in the wind<br />

In the web that is my own<br />

I begin again<br />

Said to my friend, "Baby<br />

Nothin' else mattered"<br />

<br />

He was no more than a baby then<br />

Well, he seemed broken hearted<br />

Something within him<br />

But the moment that I first laid<br />

Eyes on him all alone<br />

On the edge of seventeen<br />

<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh said, ooh<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Said, ooh baby, ooh, said, ooh<br />

<br />

Well, I went today, maybe I will go again tomorrow<br />

Yeah, yeah, well, the music there well, it was hauntingly familiar<br />

When I see you doing what I try to do for me<br />

With the words from a poet and the voice from a choir<br />

And a melody, nothing else mattered<br />

<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh said, ooh<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Said, ooh baby, ooh, said, ooh<br />

<br />

The clouds never expect it when it rains<br />

But the sea changes colors<br />

But the sea does not change<br />

So with the slow graceful flow of age<br />

I went forth with an age old desire to please<br />

On the edge of seventeen, ooh<br />

<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh said, ooh<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh said, ooh<br />

<br />

Well, then suddenly there was no one<br />

Left standing in the hall<br />

Yeah, yeah in a flood of tears<br />

Like no one really ever heard fall at all<br />

<br />

Well, I went searchin' for an answer<br />

Up the stairs and down the hall<br />

Not to find an answer, just to hear the call<br />

Of a nightbird singing, "Come away"<br />

<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh said, ooh<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Said, ooh baby, ooh, said ooh<br />

<br />

Well, I hear you in the morning<br />

And I hear you at nightfall<br />

Sometime to be near you<br />

Is to be unable to hear you, my love<br />

I'm a few years older than you, my love<br />

<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh said, ooh<br />

Just like the white winged dove<br />

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing<br />

Ooh baby, ooh, said, ooh
