U2(The Best Of The 1980-1990,1998)
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 turn around
That was the day before
Love came to town
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
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
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
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
