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 Nothin' else mattered
He was no more (He was no more) Than a baby then Well, he seemed broken hearted Somethin' 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 Well, the music there Well it was hauntingly familiar When I see you doin' What I try to do for me With their words of a poet And a voice from a choir And a melody Nothin' else mattered
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' 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 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)
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) Sometime 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)
Just like the white winged dove Sings a song Sounds like she's singin' Whoo, baby, whoo Said, whoo
