When Love Comes To Town

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I was a sailor, I was lost at seaI was under the waves before love rescued me.I was a fighter, I could turn on a threadNow I stand accused of the things I've said.When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.Maybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to town.Used to make love under a red sunsetI was making promises I was soon to forget.She was pale as the lace of her wedding gownBut I left her standing before love came to town.I ran into a juke-joint when I heard a guitar screamThe notes were turning blue, I was dazed and in a dream.As the music played I saw my life turn aroundThat was the day before love came to town.When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.Maybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to town.When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.Maybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to town.I was there when they crucified my LordI held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword.I threw the dice when they pierced his sideBut I've seen love conquer the great divide.When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame.Maybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to town.
