| 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 (Everything stops)
|
| 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, 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, whoo
|
| Just like the white winged dove
|
| Sings a song
|
| Sounds like she's singin'
|
| Said, 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)
|
| (Come away)
|
| 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 hear you (Well, I hear you)
|
| In the morning (In the morning)
|
| And I hear you (And I hear you)
|
| At nightfall (At nightfall)
|
| Sometimes to be near you
|
| Is to be unable to hear you
|
| My love
|
| I'm a few years older than you, my love
|
| (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
|
| Just like the white winged dove
|
| Sings a song
|
| Sounds like she's singin'
|
| Whoo, baby, whoo
|
| Said, whoo |
