When Love Comes To Town

When  Love  Comes  To  Town  -  Herbie  Hancock

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

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  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  dazing  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  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
