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

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
(Everything stopped)
Nothing else mattered
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 еdge of seventeen

Just likе 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 went today
Maybe I will go again tomorrow
Yeah yeah, well the music there
Well it was
Hauntingly familiar
Well I see you doing
What I'm trying to do for me
With the words from a poet
And a voice of a choir
And a melody
And nothing else mattered

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

And the clouds never expect it
When it rains, but the sea
Changes color, 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
Ooh,ahh
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 hallway
Oh, no 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
I did not find an answer
But I did hear the call
Of a nightbird
Singing come away
(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
(Well I hear you)
In the morning
(in the morning)
And I hear you
(I hear you)
At nightfall
(Nightfall)
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you
My love
Im a few years older than you are
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 shes singing
Ooh baby, ooh, said ooh

I hear the call of a nightbird
I hear the call of a nightbird
I hear the call of a nightbird
I hear the call of a nightbird
I hear the call of a nightbird
I still hear the call of a nightbird
I hear the call of a nightbird
I still hear the call of a nightbird
(I hear the call of a nightbird)
