Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen lyrics

rate me

(Chorus)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

(Verse)

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, 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

(Chorus)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

(Verse 2)

But I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow

And the music there it was hauntingly familiar

And I see you doin' what I try to do for me

With the words from a poet & the voice from a choir

And a melody & nothin' else mattered

(Chorus)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

The clouds neva expect it when it rains

But the sea changes colours 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

(Chorus)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

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

Oh I went searching for an answer

Up the stairs and down the hall

Not to find an answer

Just to hear the call

Of a nightbird singin'

Come away come away!

(Chorus x2)

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
