Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the 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
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 singing
I said Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
Well, I went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yeah, yeah, yeah, well the music there
Well, it was hauntingly familiar
Well, I see you doing what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet and a voice from a choir
And a melody, nothing else mattered
Just like the white winged dove
(Just like the white winged dove)
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
I said Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
The clouds never expect it when it rains
But the sea changes colors, 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 singing
Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
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
Well, I went searching for an answer
Up the stairs and down the hall
And not to find an answer
Just to hear the call
Of a nightbird singing come away (come away)
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
Well I hear you in the morning (in the morning)
And I hear you, 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) my love
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh
Said Ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh...
