U2 - When Love Comes To Town

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
Now I stand accused of the things I have said.
When love comes to town Imgonna jump that train
When love comes to town Imgonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town.
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 dazed and 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 Imgonna jump that train
When love comes to town Imgonna 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 Imgonna jump that train
When love comes to town Imgonna 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 have seen love conquer the great divide.
When love comes to town Imgonna jump that train
When love comes to town Imgonna catch that flame.
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town.
