livin' thing
Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin' It's magic  And you, and your sweet desire You took me higher and higher, baby It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose  Making believe this is what you conceived From your worst day Moving in line then you look back in time To the first day  And you, and your sweet desire Don't you do it, don't you do it You took me, oh higher and higher, baby It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose  Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide  Floating downstream So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream  And you, and your sweet desire You took me higher and higher, baby It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose  It's a livin' thing It's a terrible thing to lose
