When Love Comes to Town

Lyrics

[Intro: Bono] Hey, yeah yeah Hey, yeah yeah yeah [Verse 1: Bono] 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 [Chorus : B.B. King] 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 [Verse 2: Bono] 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 [Verse 3: Bono] 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 [Chorus: B.B. King] 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 [Bridge: Rebecca Evans Russell, Phyllis Duncan & Helen Duncan] Hey, yeah yeah Hey, yeah yeah [Chorus: B.B. King] 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 [Guitar Solo] [Verse 4: B.B. King] 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 [Chorus: B.B. King] When love comes to town I'm gonna catch 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 [Post-Chorus: Bono] Hey, yeah yeah Hey, yeah [Guitar Solo] [Outro: Rebecca Evans Russell, Phyllis Duncan & Helen Duncan] Hey, yeah yeah Hey, yeah Hey, yeah yeah Ooh Hey, yeah yeah Hey, yeah yeah Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh
