When Love Comes to Town

When Love Comes to Town - B.B. King/U2

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was a sailor, I was lost in sea

I was under the waves before love rescued me

I was a fighter, I could turn on a threat

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

Used to make love under a red sunset

I was making promises I was soon to forget

She's pale as the lace of her wedding gown

But I left her standing before love came to town

Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream

The notes were turning blue as days as a little 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 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

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
