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
