Lyrics

[00:01.86] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[00:05.35] Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
[00:08.22]
[00:09.41] I was a sailor, I was lost in sea
[00:12.34]
[00:13.15] I was under the waves, before love rescued me
[00:16.58]
[00:17.58] I was a fighter I could turn on a threat
[00:21.33] Now I stand accused of the things Ive said.
[00:24.95]
[00:25.57] When love comes to town,
[00:27.26] Im gonna jump that train
[00:29.56] When love comes to town,
[00:31.44] Im gonna catch that flame.
[00:33.32]
[00:34.07] Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
[00:37.63] But I did what I did before love came to town.
[00:43.74]
[00:50.73] Used to make love under a red sunset,
[00:54.66] I was making promises I was soon to forget.
[00:58.16]
[00:58.72] She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown,
[01:03.03] But I left her standing before love came to town.
[01:06.71]
[01:07.40] Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream,
[01:11.20] The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream
[01:14.38] As the music played I saw my life turn around
[01:19.14]
[01:19.70] That was the day before love came to town.
[01:23.82] Love comes to town,
[01:25.63] Im gonna jump that train
[01:27.94] When love comes to town,
[01:30.19] Im gonna catch that flame.
[01:31.69]
[01:32.37] Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
[01:35.69]
[01:36.29] But I did what I did before love came to town.
[01:39.97]
[01:57.13] Love comes to town,
[01:58.75] Im gonna jump that train
[02:01.31] When love comes to town,
[02:02.85] Im gonna catch that flame.
[02:05.04]
[02:05.78] Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
[02:08.97]
[02:09.53] But I did what I did before love came to town.
[02:13.40]
[02:35.36] I was there when they crucified my lord
[02:38.23]
[02:39.36] I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
[02:42.10] I threw the dice when they pierced his side,
[02:46.46]
[02:47.02] But Ive seen love conquer the great divide.
[02:51.26] Love comes to town,
[02:53.21] Im gonna jump that train
[02:55.39] When love comes to town,
[02:57.27] Im gonna catch that flame.
[02:59.20]
[02:59.95] Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
[03:03.70] But I did what I did before love came to town.
[03:07.56]
[03:09.56] Yeah, yeah, yeah...
