Lyrics:
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

71 years old and still get chills hearing Stevie

[WoWdreamWoW]

She was with her Uncle when he died in the hospital. She ran outside into the hallway looking for others but could not find anyone. She cried alone. The lyrics are personal and haunting.

[TonyKyger]

She is a hell of a singer. What a voice!!!

[ShadowWizard]

“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.”

You can’t beat listening to the live version of this. She is such a rock goddess ❤

[sharonevans]

No-one makes treasure like this anymore

[tristenlt]

Man i was born in the wrong era but atleast i grew up in the generation that rode around with the windows down singing every song that played on the radio or jamming out while cleaning the house god what i wouldnt give to go back to those days for just 1 day😭😭😭

[LoyalKJ]

Heard the song for the first time tonight and I got to say I LOVE IT can't stop playing

[priderockengineeringnz]

Stevie is a God of nature because she knew who she was going to become.
A woman who found her path, but knew why she is human. God bless these sort of woman with unlimited potential of power from voice and confidence.
Energy, Frequency and Vibration equals her Universe!

[carriefroman]

My phone obviously heard me singing this today...I looked out back door and saw a red cardinal and started singing this very song. Thank you for posting.

[marvrichmondnongrum]

I came back here just for my dad who is in heaven....he always played this song on 2005 in a tape box...i miss him so much 😖🥺💔🙏🏻

[peteywheatstraw]

They don't make them like this anymore. Just great music

[oceanview]

She’s ageless Beauty. Just heard her singing, inducted into the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. She wrote so many beautiful songs and words! Landslide, Dreams, Gypsy, and on and on. Her new song show them the way is deep.

[isabellesarahwood]

A goddess of such talent and inspiration to me personally as a woman and to many . So talented, what a voice and her lyrics are haunting

[gmoney]

If God made anything more beautiful than Stevie Nicks, He kept it for Himself.

[rooseveltellis]

I grew up on this song it's one of my favorite classic rock songs but never knew all the lyrics until wrote these magical words!! The lyrics have blown my mind. This song can cover a whole lot of 👊💯🔥

[jamiechesloff]

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 (everything stopped)
Nothin' 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 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, 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, and nothing else mattered

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 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 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, 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 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 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
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

Well I hear you in the morning
And I hear you at nightfall
Sometimes to be near you
Is to be unable to feel 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

Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like she's singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
