B.B. King
When Love Comes to Town
[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
