And for everything I've lost, there's been something else I've got
But when love comes tumbling down
I've been up and I've been down
I will wear a crown
I saw a mirage, and for seven years I chased it
I'm not through with my changes
Still remember who I am
I've got a long way still to run
Been in danger, I tried to face it
I will wear a crown
But when love comes tumbling down
Tasted glory, I have wooed and refused it
I'm going to play this show even if nobody comes
But when love comes tumbling down
Tried to live in a sacred way, I did and I did not
When love comes tumbling down
And for every high joy a hard lesson learnt
Sometimes almost level with the ground
Once in every hundred years I can
When love comes tumbling down
I've had power, I've used and abused it
I have been to another world and I have returned
