When Love Comes to Town

[Verse 1]
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves until love rescued me
And I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Used to make love under the red sunset
And I was making promises I was soon to forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing when love came to town

[Verse 3]
I ran into a juke-joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, when I was dazed in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Verse 4]
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
And I roll'd the dice when they pierced His side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]
