I was a sai lor, I was (A)lost at fied sea.

Lord.

I was un der the held waves scab be fore love sol res cued me.

(A)sword.

I was a fight er; I could (A)turn on a thread.

but Now (E)I stand ac cused of the things I’ve said.

When love comes to town I’m gon na jump that train.

When love comes to town I’m gon na catch that plane.

May be I was wrong to ev er let you down, but I did what I did be fore love came to town.

(E)Used to make love un der a red sun set.

I was (E)mak ing prom is es I would soon for get.

She was (E)pale as the lace of her wed ding gown, but I (E)left her stand ing be fore love came to town.

(A)Ran in to a juke joint when I heard a gui tar scream.

The (E)notes were turn ing blue.

I was dazed and in a dream.

As the mu sic played I saw my life turn ’round.

That was the day be fore love came to town.

When love comes to town I’m gon na jump that train.

When love comes to town I’m gon na catch that plane.

May be I was wrong to ev er let you down, but I did what I did be fore love came to town.

When love comes to town I’m gon na jump that train.

When love comes to town I’m gon na catch that plane.

May be I was wrong to ev er let you down, but I did what I did be fore love came to town.
