EDGE OF SEVENTEEN © Stevie Nicks

Just like the white winged dove...sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo
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...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...whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo
I went today...maybe I will go again...tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly...familiar
And I see you doing...what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet...and the voice from a choir
And a melody...nothing else mattered
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo
The clouds...never 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
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song...
Sounds like she's singing...ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo...

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 searchin' for an answer...
Up the stairs...and down the hall
Not to find an answer...just to hear the call
Of a nightbird...singing...come away...come away...
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song ...
Sounds like she's singing...whoo...whoo...whoo
Just like the white winged dove...sings a song...
sounds like she's singing...ooo...baby...ooo...said ooo
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...
are (I'm a few years older than you) my love
Just like the white winged dove...
sings a song...sounds like she's singing...
ooo baby...ooo...said ...(repeat)
