Stevie Nicks – Edge Of Seventeen (Lyrics)

Written By: Stevie Nicks

Lyrics (Start at 0:07):

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, said 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 (Everything stops)
Nothing else mattered

He was no more than a baby then (He was no more)
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, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

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 doing
What I try to do for me with their
Words from a poet and a voice from a choir
And a melody
And nothing else mattered

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

The clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes color
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 singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

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 searching for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
But not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird
Singing, “Come away” (Come away, come away)

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Well, I hear you (Well, I hear you)
In the morning (In the morning)

At nighta (At fight hear you)
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)
My love

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she’s singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
