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, nothing else matters
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 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
And the music there
Well, it was hauntingly familiar
And I see you doing
What I try to do for me
With the words of a poet
And the voice from a choir
And the melody nothing else matters
Just like the white winged dove sings a sound
Just like she's singin'
Whoo, baby, whoo, said whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a sound
Just 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
And 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, said whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
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, said whoo
Just like the white winged dove sings a song
Sounds like she's singin'
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
