I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
|
I was under the waves
|
Before love rescued me
|
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
|
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
|
|
Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
|
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
|
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
|
But I did what I did before love came to town
|
|
I used to make love under a red sunset
|
I was making promises I was soon to forget
|
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
|
But I left her standing before love came to town
|
|
I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
|
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
|
As the music played I saw my life turn around
|
That was the day before love came to town
|
|
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
|
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
|
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
|
But I did what I did before love came to town
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
I was there when they crucified my Lord
|
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
|
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
|
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
|
|
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train
|
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
|
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
|
But I did what I did before love came to town
|
