Linvin' Thing - Electric Light Orchestra

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.
