Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, Ooh, Ooh
Just like a 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
Nothing else mattered

Well 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 a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, Baby, Ooh, Said Ooh
Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, Ooh, Said Ooh

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 tried to do for me
With the words of a poet

And the voice of a choir
And a melody
Nothing else mattered

Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, Baby, Ooh, Said Ooh
Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, Ooh, Said Ooh

The clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes colour
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 a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, Baby, Ooh, Said Ooh
Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, Ooh, Said Ooh

Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, Baby, Ooh, Said Ooh
Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, Ooh, Said Ooh

Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, Baby, Ooh, Said Ooh
Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, Ooh, Said Ooh

Just like a white winged dove
Sings a song sounds like she's singing
Ooh, Baby, Ooh, Said Ooh
