When Love Comes Tumbling Lyrics - 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
