U2 - WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN LYRICS

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
BUT I STAND ACCUSED OF THE THINGS I´VE SAID

WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
I WANT TO JUMP THAT TRAIN
WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
I WANT TO 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
WHEN I FELL INTO A DREAM
AS THE MUSIC PLAYED I SAW MY LIFE TURNED AROUND
THAT WAS THE DAY BEFORE LOVE CAME TO TOWN

WHEN LOVE COMES TO TOWN
I WANT TO JUMP THAT TRAIN...

WHEN I WOKE UP I WAS SLEEPING ON THE STREET
I FELT THE WORLD WAS DANCING
AND I WAS DIRT BENEATH THEIR FEET
WHEN I LOOKED UP I SAW THE DEVIL LOOKING DOWN
BUT MY LORD HE PLAYED GUITAR
THE DAY 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 WANT TO JUMP THAT TRAIN
