Written for her uncle and John Lennon who died the same week in December 80. John was friend of Steve Iovine who produced Bella donna.

[@TonyKyger]

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

[@LoyalKJ12456]

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

[@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.

[@Johnballsacks]

its about an older woman shagging an underage boy

[@WoWdreamWoW]

@@Johnballsacks She asked a girl how old she was when she got married. The girl replied The AGE of seventeen, but because of her heavy accent, she misheard it as Edge of Seventeen.

[@Diordreams.]

It’s about her uncle and John Lennon ❤

[@briankennedy1192]

​@@Diordreams. Yes I heard it was about Lennon too some of the verses relate to him , brilliant.

[@lainerichardson9533]

I read she got the idea after talking to Tom Petty’s first wife about how they met.

[@carriefroman2302]

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.

[@Diordreams.]

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

[@isabellesarahwood5005]

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

[@oceanview777]

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.

It's the greatest tragedy to humanity 💔 . Creators don't receive compensation for their work, skill & talent. Even mothers are tossed aside after the baby is born. Mother's and artists are the ultimate creators. Artists think of their creation as their "baby" We live in a capitalist society & it made a choice: doesn't pay ppl to do this. It's the greatest tragedy to humanity 💔

[@jonathandonley3299]

42 year old song that'll still be heard and loved 42 years from now.

[@priderockengineeringnz9792]

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!

[@Justhere86]

She is absolutely amazing my favorite ever!! 🖤 strong strong woman!! The white-winged dove came to symbolize peace for John Lennon, and the dove of the saguaro cactus for her uncle.

Im 50 and it's 2024 and I know now what's she saying. I sang this song while my mom jammed to this.. I said JUST LIKE WHILE IM WILD SWINGING.. LOL ... ❤SHE NEVER CORRECTED ME IF SHE KNEW THE WORDS TOO? ❤❤❤ CLASSIC.

[@madmex2k]

Hahaha...Don't feel too bad, I couldn't understand her sometimes either. I always sang," Just like a one winged bird, sings a song sounds like she's singing, ooh, baby, ooh, said oooh." Soo many good songs from her, and now I am going back and learning the correct words. Its fun and makes me crack up at what I thought was right. One winged bird! Hahaha😆😆

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 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 Ooh, baby, ooh, said ooh

The song holds a Lilith analogy hidden within the song. If you listen to it backwards it mentions the name lilith twice at 1 minute and 44 seconds. The night bird (Owl) mentioned at the end of the song is liliths animal form stated in the bible. Stevie nicks initiation with lilith to come away with her. Abandoning the under age broken hearted boy like lilith rejecting adam (Defiance to God). The meaning of isaiah 34:14 is the only reference of lilith in the bible. Lilith the Queen of demons Ex wife of Adam and the wife of lucifer. Stevie Nicks, a master of story telling. And now you know.

[@chadbentley6166]

That's interesting. I suppose alot of the songs we like have messages in them.

[@ginac7235]

“The song itself is poignant, its lyrics inspired by the singer’s grief at the death of her beloved uncle Jonathan and that of John Lennon within a week of one another in December 1980. Lennon had been a close friend of Jimmy Iovine, Nicks’ producer on Bella Donna, while she had flown to her home state of Arizona in order to be with her uncle as he fought cancer. The ‘white-winged dove’ in the lyrics, depicting a bird that nests in Arizonan cacti, was intended to symbolise the spirits of the two men crossing into another world.” ....nothing sinister about it... no listening to it backwards for “secret messages.”
