Bono - When Love Comes To Town lyrics

rate me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah<br />

<br />

I was a sailor, I was lost in sea<br />

I was under the waves, before love rescued me<br />

I was a fighter I could turn on threat<br />

Now I stand accused of things I've said<br />

<br />

When love comes to town,<br />

I'm gonna jump that train<br />

When love comes to town,<br />

I'm gonna catch that flame<br />

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,<br />

But I did what I did before love came to town<br />

<br />

Used to make love under the red sunset,<br />

I was making promises I that were soon to forget<br />

She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown,<br />

But I left her standing before love came to town<br />

<br />

Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream,<br />

The notes were turning blue as days as a little dream<br />

As the music played I saw my life turn around,<br />

That was the day before love came to town<br />

<br />

When love comes to town,<br />

I'm gonna jump that train<br />

When love comes to town,<br />

I'm gonna catch that flame<br />

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,<br />

But I did what I did before love came to town<br />

<br />

I was there when they crucified my Lord<br />

I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword<br />

I threw the dice as they pierced his side,<br />

But I've seen love conquer the great divide<br />

<br />

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
