sailin’ away on the crest of a wave
it’s like magic
oh rollin’ and ridin’ and slippin’ slidin’
it’s magic
pre
and you and your sweet desire
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
i’m taking a dive dive
making believe this is what you conceived
from your worst day i’m taking a dive
oh moving in line then you look back in time
to the first day i’m taking i’m taking
pre
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
i’m taking a dive on the slide hey
takin’ a dive ’cause you can’t halt the slide
floating downstream i’m taking a dive
oh so let her go don’t start spoiling the show
it’s a bad dream i’m taking i’m taking
pre
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
it’s a livin’ thing
it’s a terrible thing to lose
it’s a given thing
what a terrible thing to lose
