Lyrics Herbie Hancock

Herbie Hancock

When Love Comes To Town

I was a sailor, I was lost at sea

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 flame

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

But I did what I did before love came to town

Used to find love under a red sunset

I was making promises I was soon to forget

I was as pale as the lace on my wedding gown

But I left him standing before love came to town

I ran into a juke joint when I heard the 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

Well 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 (baby) I'm gonna catch that train

When love comes to town (baby) I'm gonna catch that flame

Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down

But what i did before love came to town

Before love came to town

When love comes to town, when love comes to town,

When love comes to town, when love comes to town

Gonna, gonna catch that flame, when love comes to town,

When love comes to town, yeah when love comes to town,

When love, when love, when love, when love comes to town

Yeah when love comes to town

When love comes to town
