Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, ooh, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"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 (everything's not)
"Baby, nothin' else mattered"
He was no more (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 17
Just like the white winged dove (just like the white winged dove)
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
"Ooh, baby, ooh, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin', 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 doin' what I try to do for me
With the words of a poet and a voice from a choir
And a melody
And nothin' else mattered
Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin', 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 17
Ooh Oohhhhh, ahhhhhhh
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"
Well, then suddenly
There was no one left standin' in the hall
Yeah-yeah, in a flood of tears
No one really ever heard fall at all
When I went searchin' for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
And not to find an answer, just to hear the call
Of a night bird
Singin', "Come away" (come away, come away)
Just like the white-winged dove (just like the white-winged dove)
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, it sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"
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 feel 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 (just like the white-winged dove)
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"
Just like the white-winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh"
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"Ooh, ooh, ooh"
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singin'
"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
