I've had money

and I 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 learned

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 lost

there's been something else I got

and 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

tried to face it

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 gonna play this show

even if nobody comes

and when love comes tumbling down

when love comes tumbling down

when love comes tumbling down

I will wear a Crown
