Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh baby, ooh

say 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

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh baby, ooh

say ooh

Well I went today

maybe I will go again

tomorrow

Yeah, yeah, yeah

and the music there

it was

hauntingly familiar

Well I see you doing

what I try to do for me

with the

Words from a poet

and the

voice from a choir

and a melody

Nothing else mattered

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh baby, ooh

say ooh

The clouds

never expect it

when it rains

But the sea

changes colour

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

Ooh, ooh, ooh,

aaahhhh

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh baby, ooh

say ooh

Well then suddenly

there was no-one

left standing

in the hall

Yeah, yeah

in a flood of tears

that no-one ever

really heard at all

I went searching

for an answer

up the stairs

and down the hall

Not to find an answer

just to hear the call

Of a night bird

singing come away,

come away, come away

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Just like the

white winged dove

sings a song sounds

like she's singing

Ooh baby, ooh

say ooh

Well I hear you

in the morning

And I hear you

at night fall

Sometimes to be

near you

is to be

unable to hear you

My love

I'm a few years

older than you

My love

Just like the

white winged dove
