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
I went today...maybe I will go again
tomorrow
And the music there it was hauntingly...
familiar
And I see you doing
what I try to do for me
With the words from a poet
and the voice from a choir
And a melody...nothing else mattered
The clouds never expect it
when it rains
But the sea changes colours
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
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
Oh 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 singing
come away...come away...
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...
are (I'm a few years older than you) my love
