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
