Electric Light Orchestra Part II - Livin' Thing lyrics

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, ohh, 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, I'm takin' a dive Oh, moving in line when you look back in time To the first day, I'm takin', I'm takin' And you and your sweet desire You took me ohh, higher and higher baby It's a living thing It's a terrible thing to lose It's a given thing What a terrible thing to lose And I'm takin' a dive, ah the slide, hey Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide Floating downstream, I'm takin a dive Ah, so let her go don't start spoiling the show It's a bad dream, I'm takin', I'm takin' And you and your sweet desire You took me, ohh, 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 I'm takin' a dive, ah the slide, oh yeah Ah the slide
