| This track recorded live on 24th November 1987
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 plane 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
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 [etc repeated]
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 [etc repeated]
