The Waterboys

The Waterboys are a band formed in 1983 by Mike Scott. The band's membership, past and present, has been composed mainly of musicians from Scotland, Ireland and England. Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Spiddal, New York, and Findhorn have all served as homes for the group. The band has played in a number of different styles, but their music is a mix of Celtic folk music with rock and roll.

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
