Crown The Waterboys

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
