Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah I was a sailor, I was lost in sea I was under the waves, before love rescued me I was a fighter I could turn on threat Now I stand accused of 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 Used to make love under the red sunset, I was making promises I that were 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 as days as a little dream As the music played I saw my life turn around, that was the day before love came to town 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 as they pierced his side, but I've seen love conquer the great divide Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

We are traveling in the footsteps
Of those who've gone before But we'll all be reunited (but if we stand reunited) On a new and sunlit shore (then a new world is in store) Oh when the saints go marching in When the saints go marching in Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine And when the sun refuse (begins) to shine Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in When the moon turns red with blood When the moon turns red with blood Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in On that hallelujah day On that hallelujah day Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in Oh when the trumpet sounds the call Oh when the trumpet sounds the call Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in Some say this world of trouble Is the only one we need But I'm waiting for that morning When the new world is revealed When the revelation (revolution) comes When the revelation (revolution) comes Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in When the rich go out and work When the rich go out and work Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in When the air is pure and clean When the air is pure and clean Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in When we all have food to eat When we all have food to eat Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in When our leaders learn to cry When our leaders learn to cry Oh lord I want to be in that number When the saints go marching in |
