Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
EmOoh Ooh Ooh
C DJust like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C DAnd the days go by like a strand in the wind
EmIn the web that is my own I begin again
Said to my friend, Baby, nothing else mattered
C D EmHe was no more than a baby then
C DWell he seemed broken-hearted
Something within him
C D EmBut the moment that I first laid eyes on him
C D EmAll alone on the edge of seventeen
C D
Just like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
C DJust like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
EmOoh baby Ooh said Ooh
C D Em
Well I went today maybe I will go again tomorrow
And the music there well it was hauntingly familiar
C DWhen I see you doin what I try to do for me
EmWith the words from 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 shes singin
EmOoh baby Ooh said Ooh
C DJust like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
The clouds never expect it when it rains but the sea changes color
D C DBut the sea does not change
Em D C DSo with the slow sad graceful glow of age
I went forth with an age old desire to please
C D C DOn the edge of seventeen
Ooh............

Well then suddenly there was noone left standin in the hallway
Yeah Yeah, in a flood of tears that noone really ever heard fall at all
C DWell I went searchin for an answer up the stairs and down the hall
Em C DNot to find an answer but 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 shes singin
EmOoh baby Ooh said Ooh
C DJust like the white winged dove sings a song sounds like shes singin
Ooh baby Ooh said Ooh
Well I hear you in the mornin' and I hear you at nightfall
Em D Em D C D EmAnd sometimes to be near you is to be unable to hear you my love
C D EmIm a few years older than you my love
C D
