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 threat 
Now I stand accused of 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 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 as a little dream 
As the music played I saw my life turn around, 
that was the day before love came to town 
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 as they pierced his side, 
but I've seen love conquer the great divide 
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah
