When Love Comes To Town
[E]I was a sailor, I was lost in [A]sea [E]
[E]I was under the waves, before loves resqued[A] me [E]
[E]I was a fighter I could turn on th[A]reat [E]
Now [E]I st[N.C.]and accused of things I've said.
[A]Love comes to town,
I'm gonna jump that train [A]
When l[E]ove comes to town,
I'm gonna catch that flame.[A] [E]
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down,
But I [E]did [N.C.]what I did before love came to town.
Used to make love under the red sunset,
I was making promises I that were soon to forget.
She was 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 are a dream.
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town.
I was there when they crusified my lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice as they pierced his side,
But I've seen love conquer the great divide.
