[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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’
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo

[Chorus]
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 somethin' within him
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen

[Post-Chorus]
Oh.....
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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'
Whoo, baby, whoo, whoo

[Chorus]
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 somethin’ within him
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen

[Post-Chorus]
Oh.....
Yeah, yeah
[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
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 somethin' within him
But the moment that I first laid eyes on him
All alone on the edge of seventeen
