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've said


Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train

When love comes to town I'm gonna 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, I was dazing 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 I'm gonna jump that train

When love comes to town I'm gonna 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 I'm gonna jump that train

When love comes to town I'm gonna 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've seen love conquer the great divide


When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train

When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

But I did what I did before love came to town
