| Edge Of Seventeen |

(chorus)
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Whoo... whoo... whoo...
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song
Sounds like she's singing
Ooo baby... ooo... said ooo
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... 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
(chorus)
Well i went today maybe i will go again
Tomorrow
Yea yea well the music there well it was hauntingly
Familiar
Well i see you doing
What i try to do for me
With the words from a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody... nothing else mattered
(chorus)
The clouds never expect it
When it rains
But the sea changes color
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
(chorus)
Well then suddenly
There was no one left standing
In the hall
In a flood of tears
That no one really ever heard fall at all
Well 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
(chorus)
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...
My love
(chorus.1stpart)
