Ive had money, and Ive lost it
seen an ocean, nearly crossed it
I have been to another world and I have returned
and for every high joy a hard lesson learnt
But when love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown
Ive had power, Ive used and abused it
tasted glory, I have wooed and refused it
Tried to live in a sacred way, I did and I did not
and for everything Ive lost, theres been something else Ive got
But when love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown
Ive been up and Ive been down
sometimes almost level with the ground
Once in every hundred years I can
still remember who I am
Been in danger, I tried to face it
I saw a mirage, and for seven years I chased it
Im not through with my changes,
Ive got a long way still to run
Im going to play this show even if nobody comes
But when love comes tumbling down
when love comes tumbling down
When love comes tumbling down
I will wear a crown
