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, 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've conceived From your worst day,(im taking a dive) Moving in line when you look back in time To your first day(im taking im taking) 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. Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, (im taking a dive) So let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream (im taking im taking) 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.
