Edge of Seventeen

Edge of Seventeen - The Wind and The Wave

Written by：Stevie Nicks

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo whoo whoo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo baby whoo

Said whoo

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

He was no more

Than a baby then

Well he seemed broken hearted

Somethin'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 singin'

Whoo baby whoo say whoo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo baby whoo

Said whoo

I went today

Maybe I will go again

Tomorrow yeah yeah

Well the music there

It was hauntingly familiar

When I see you doin'

What I try to do for me

With their words of a poet

And a voice from a choir

And a melody

Nothin'else mattered

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo baby whoo said whoo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo baby whoo said whoo

The clouds never expect it

When it rains

But the sea changes colours

But the sea

Does not change

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 singin'

Whoo baby whoo said whoo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo baby whoo

Said whoo

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

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 singin'

Come away

Come away

Come away

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo baby whoo said whoo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo baby whoo

Said whoo

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

I'm a few years older than you

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo whoo whoo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she's singin'

Whoo whoo whoo
