Well I dreamed I saw you sailing in upon a sleek white schooner
You were slipping over shallow water
You were coming into harbour, you were coming into harbour
With the wind in all your sails
You were carrying a cargo that was richer than riches
More gold than gold and much more real than real
New born babe in your arms and his cool blue eyes gazed up
Yes his cool eyes gazed upon a fresh world, one yet to be made
I was standing on the shoreline looking out over the sea
And I saw your white sail appearing on the horizon
I was standing on the shoreline just looking out over the sea
And I saw your white sail appearing on the horizon
You were coming into harbour, you were coming into harbour
In the bright light, the bright light, longer than the 20th century
·Crown
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
