Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, oh, oh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, baby, 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 myself, 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'
Oh, baby oh, said oh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, baby, oh, said oh
Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again
Tomorrow, yeah, yeah
Well, the music there
It was hauntingly familiar
Well I see you doin'
What I try to do for me
With the words from 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'
Oh, baby, oh, said oh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, baby, oh, said oh
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'
Oh, baby, oh, said oh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, baby, oh, said oh
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
Come away
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, baby, oh, said oh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, baby, oh, said oh
Well, I hear you
In the morning
And I hear you
At nightfall
Sometimes 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'
Oh, oh, oh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
Oh, oh, oh
