This clue might be a double definition.

'save only' is the first definition.
'deliver' can be an answer for 'save' (synonyms). I am unsure of the 'only' bit.

'have over?' is the second definition.
'deliver' can be an answer for 'have' (synonyms). I am not sure about the 'over?' bit.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for deliver that I've seen before include "Bring letter or rescue" , "Bring into the world - set free" , "Rid" , "Free; supply" , "Bring to a destination and hand over" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
