|
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 |
|
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 |
|
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 |
