Edge of Seventeen - Jonas

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

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

ooo baby ooo said ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Said Ooo baby ooo said ooo

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

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

ooo baby ooo said ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

Ooo baby ooo said ooo

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

Oooooooooaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh.

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

Ooo baby ooo said ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

Ooo baby ooo said ooo

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

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

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

Ooo baby ooo said ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

Ooo baby ooo said ooo

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

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song

Sounds like she’s singing

Ooo baby ooo said ooo
