美國神秘實力歌姬［史蒂芙．妮克絲］──流行搖滾曲──［Edge of Seventeen／十七歲邊緣］

 

 

Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like shes singing
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like shes 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 shes singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like shes 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 shes singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like shes 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 shes singing
I said ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like shes 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 shes singing
Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh
Just like the white winged dove
Sings a song, sounds like shes 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
Im a few years older than you
(Im a few years older than you) my love

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