[U2, B.B. King - 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
Now I stand accused of the things I've said

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

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
I was dazed and in a 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

(Lost lyrical stanza)
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 woke up I saw the Devil looking down
But my Lord He played guitar the
Day love came to town
