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



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 TURNED AROUND

THAT WAS THE DAY BEFORE LOVE CAME TO TOWN



WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN

I WANT TO JUMP THAT TRAIN...



WHEN I WOKE UP I WAS SLEEPING ON THE STREET

I FELT THE WORLD WAS DANCING

AND I WAS DIRT BENEATH THEIR FEET

WHEN I LOOKED UP I SAW THE DEVIL LOOKING DOWN

BUT MY LORD HE PLAYED GUITAR

THE DAY 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 WANT TO JUMP THAT TRAIN
