Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen

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)

[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.

Stevie Nicks' Edge of Seventeen is another one of those songs that I've known and appreciated since I was a child. Listening to any of the songs like this with which I grew up, always gives me a feeling of nostalgia. It does have an excellent sound indeed. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I don't think I ever heard this song "edge of seventeen" before. I'm loving the guitar of this song and it seemed sad in a way. Thanks so much for sharing @buzzking
