Gave me a ladder, said I would climb the stars for you,
But I found another purpose, something else that it could do,
But you still loved me and, man, this was something new,
Before I loved you,

Gave me a hammer, said I would build you anything,
And it took me just a heartbeat to nail you to a tree,
But you still loved me, oh, powerful and true, before I loved you.

Only your love chases the darkness from my soul,
Only your love can break my heart then make it whole.

Only your love,
Only your love.

You gave me wings of angels,
Lord, I headed fast nowhere,
I didn't need no directions 'cause I knew I was halfway there,
But you still loved me and there was nothing I could do before I loved you, yes.

I stood, howling like a wolf out in the cold, pale moonlight,
Thought I've heard you in the echoes, calling out for forty nights,
That's how much you love me,
Lord, have mercy,
I will follow you.

Only your love chases the darkness from my soul, yeah,
Only your love can break my heart then make it whole.

Only your love,
Only your love.

Only your love,
Only your love,
Only your love can chase the darkness from my soul,
Can break my heart then make it whole, yes,
Only your love.
