Lyrics:

Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Whoo (3x)
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh oh - said oh

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

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 the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Whoo (3x)
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh oh - said oh

I went today - maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yeah (2x)
And the music, there it was hauntingly 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 the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Whoo (3x)
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh oh - said oh

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 (3x)
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh oh - said oh

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 (2x)

Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Whoo (3x)
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh oh - said oh

Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Oh baby, oh said
(Repeat)
