Livin' Thing

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It's like magic

Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'

It's magic

And you, and your sweet desire,

You took me, higher and higher

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've conceived

From your worst day,

Moving in line when you look back in time

To your first day

And you, and your sweet desire,

You took me, higher and higher

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

It's a livin' thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose

It's a given thing

What a terrible thing to lose.
