|
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, whoo |
|
Just like the white winged dove |
|
Sings a song |
|
Sounds like she's singin' |
|
Said, whoo, baby, whoo |
|
Said, whoo |
|
Well, I went today |
|
Maybe I will go again |
|
Tomorrow, yeah, yeah |
|
Well, the music there |
|
Well 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' |
|
Said, 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 |
|
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 |
|
When 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) |
|
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 |
|
Well, I hear you (well, I hear you) |
|
In the morning (in the morning) |
|
And I hear you (and I hear you) |
|
At nightfall (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, baby, whoo |
|
Said, whoo |
