Ladder Of Love

(album: Sticks And Stones - 2023)

Last night I heard thunder but I wished it was louder
I was longing for the lightning to demonstrate its power
I don't mind the rain or the gales of blowing wind
I'm climbing up the ladder of love again

The first rung was the song I sung the day that I first met her
And the second was a reckoning I never would forget her
The third became forgiveness, my life was filled with sin
I'm climbing up the ladder of love again

I can't erase my grin like a crown above my chin
I'm far ahead of where I used to be
One day I'll ring the bell on the run that marks the end
I'm climbing up the ladder of love again

A giant wave is rising but I'm above the water
And the air is cold and thin up here but I'm just getting hotter
I recognize the clouds, now that I am breathing in
I'm climbing up the ladder of love again

Last night I heard thunder but I wished it was louder
I was longing for the lightning to demonstrate its power
I don't mind the rain or the gales of blowing wind
I'm climbing up the ladder
I'm climbing up the ladder
I'm climbing up the ladder of love again
