I have known hands like winter's bite,
Cold as the truth in the dead of night.
I have known love like a fleeting flame,
Burned out quick and left no name.
But you move like a river, slow and sure,
Fill every hollow, every hurt.
And I don't know what I've done to deserve,
A love like yours.
Oh, I've never been held like this,
Like the earth holds the sky, like the sea greets the mist.
You give like the sun, with nothing to prove,
And I have never known a love like you.
I have walked roads where the echoes fade,
Followed the ghosts of love that stayed.
Took what I could, never dared to dream,
That someone could give like you give to me.
You move like a song I've always known,
Carved in the marrow, stitched in the bone.
And I don't know what I've done to deserve,
A love so sure.
Oh, I've never been held like this,
Like the earth holds the sky, like the sea greets the mist.
You give like the sun, with nothing to prove,
And I have never known a love like you.
Oh, if the world should fall apart,
If the stars all cease to shine,
I swear I would still have light,
I would still have you.
Oh, I've never been held like this,
Like the dawn holds the dark in a lover's kiss.
You give like the sun, with nothing to prove,
And love, I have never known a love like you.
No, I have never known,
A love like you
