[Intro]
Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ahh, ah-ah, ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah

[Verse 1]
Oh, to see without my eyes
The first time that you kissed me
Boundless by the time I cried
I built your walls around me
White noise, what an awful sound
Fumbling by Rogue River
Feel my feet above the ground
Hand of God, deliver me

[Chorus]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
The first time that you touched me
Oh, will wonders ever cease?
Blessed be the mystery of love

[Post-Chorus]
Hmm-mm, ahh
Hmm-mm, mm-mm-mm, ahh
Hmm-mm, love
Hmm-mm
[Verse 2]
Lord, I no longer believe
Drowned in living waters
Cursed by the love that I received
From my brother's daughter
Like Hephaestion, who died
Alexander's lover
Now my riverbed has dried
Shall I find no other?

[Chorus]
Oh, oh woe-oh-woah is me
I'm running like a plover
Now I'm prone to misery
The birthmark on your shoulder reminds me

[Post-Chorus]
Hmm-mm, ahh (Only love, only love)
Hmm-mm, mm-mm-mm, ahh (Only love, only love)
Hmm-mm, love (Only love, only love)
Hmm-mm

[Verse 3]
How much sorrow can I take? (Only love, only love)
Blackbird on my shoulder (Only love, only love)
And what difference does it make (Only love, only love)
When this love is over? (Only love, only love)
Shall I sleep within your bed? (Only love, only love)
River of unhappiness (Only love, only love)
Hold your hands upon my head (Only love, only love)
'Til I breathe my last breath
