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
