Singalong! Edge of Seventeen by Fleetwood Mac

I heard this song for the first time when the cool redhead contestant on the first season of American Idol sang it.  She was harshly criticized by the judges for "thinking she could be like Stevie Nicks" which was a little funny since that week they were supposed to be singing songs of their personal idols, so of course she picked someone like Stevie.  She obviously didn't win, but I thought she was the coolest.  Although not cool enough to learn her name.  Since then I learned many Fleetwood Mac songs and loved them all.

EDGE OF SEVENTEEN

Fleetwood Mac

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooo, ooo, ooo

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooo, baby, ooo

Said "Ooo"

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 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 "Ooo, baby, ooo"

Said "Ooo"

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"

Said "Ooo"

Well, I went today

Maybe I will go again tomorrow

Yea yea, 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

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"

Said "Ooo"

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"

Said "Ooo"

The clouds, never expect it

When it rains

But the sea changes color

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, ooa

Ooa

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"

Said "Ooo"

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"

Said "Ooo"

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"

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooo, baby, ooo

Said "Ooo"

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

I said "Ooo, baby, ooo"

Said "Ooo"

Well, I hear you in the morning and

I hear you 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

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooo, baby, ooo

Said "Ooo"

Just like the white winged dove

Sings a song, sounds like she's singing

Ooo, baby, ooo

Said "Ooo"
