Crown Lyrics - Singles - Waterboys

I've had money, and I've 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 

I've had power, I've 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 I've lost, there's been something else I've got

But when love comes tumbling down 

I will wear a crown 

I've been up and I've 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 

I'm not through with my changes, 

I've got a long way still to run 

I'm 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
