When Love Comes To Town Lyrics by Herbie Hancock

When Love Comes To Town

[feat. Jonny Lang & Joss Stone] [Music by U2; lyrics by Bono][Originally by U2]I was a sailor, I was lost at seaI was under the wavesBefore love rescued meI was a fighter, I could turn on a threadNow I stand accused of the things I've saidLove comes to town I'm gonna jump that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flameMaybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to townI used to make love under a red sunsetI was making promises I was soon to forgetShe was pale as the lace of her wedding gownBut I left her standing before love came to townI ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar screamThe notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dreamAs the music played I saw my life turn aroundThat was the day before love came to townWhen love comes to town I'm gonna jump that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flameMaybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to townWhen love comes to town I'm gon
na jump that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flameMaybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to townI was there when they crucified my LordI held the scabbard when the soldier drew his swordI threw the dice when they pierced his sideBut I've seen love conquer the great divideWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that trainWhen love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flameMaybe I was wrong to ever let you downBut I did what I did before love came to town
