Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
Sounds like she's singin
ooh,ooh,ooh
Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singin
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 baby
nothing else mattered
Well 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 a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh
Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh

I went today
maybe i will go again tomorrow, yeah
and the music there
it was haunting familiar
and i see you doing
what i try to do for me
with the words of a poet
and the voice of a choir
and a melody
nothing else mattered

Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh
Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh

The clouds never expect it when it rains
but the sea changes color
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 a white winged dove
sings a sng
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh
Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh

Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh
Just like a white winged dove
sings a song
sounds like she's singing
ooh,baby,ooh,said ooh
