When Love Comes To Town

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

But I stand accused of the things I've said



Chorus:

When love comes to town

I want to jump that train

When love comes to town

I want to 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

When I fell into a dream

As the music played I saw my life turn around

That was the day before love came to town



Chorus twice



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
