Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It's like magic

Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'

It's magic



Chorus

And you, and your sweet desire,

You took me, ooh, woah, 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 conceived

From your worst day, (I'm taking a dive)

Moving in line then you look back in time

To the first day (I'm taking, I'm taking)



Repeat Chorus



Takin' a dive 'cos you can't halt the slide

Floating downstream, (I'm taking a dive)

So let her go don't start spoiling the show

It's a bad dream (I'm taking, I'm taking)



Repeat Chorus



It's a livin' thing,

It's a terrible thing to lose,

It's a terrible thing to lose

What a terrible thing to lose
