Edge of Seventeen Lyrics

[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

[Verse 1]
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 stops)
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

[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Said, ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

[Verse 2]
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 the words of a poet
And a voice from a choir
And a melody
And nothin' else mattered

[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Said, ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

[Verse 3]
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, ah

[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

[Verse 4]
Well, then suddenly
There was no one left standin' 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
And not to find an answer, just to hear the call
Of a nightbird singin', come away (Come away, come away)

[Bridge]
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)
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to hear you, my love
I'm a few years older than you, my love (I'm a few years older than you)

[Chorus]
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song (Just like the white winged dove)
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh
Just like the white-winged dove sings a song
It sounds like she's singin'
Ooh, baby, ooh, said, ooh

"Edge of Seventeen" is a true classic and legendary song of the 80s. If a time machine is invented, I would love to go back to the 70s and 80s to enjoy the music. Stevie Nicks has a mesmerising voice and her performance in this song is amazing. Also, the backing vocals are great. Also, Waddy Wachtel's guitar playing is amazing and adds a great vibe to the song. It has a distinctive, chugging 16th note guitar riff, drum beat and a simple chord structure. The lyrics of "Edge of Seventeen" express the grief resulting from the death of Stevie Nicks' uncle Jonathan and the murder of John Lennon.
