Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slipping and sliding
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
I'm taking a dive, dive
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 a dive
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
I'm taking a dive, dive
Takin' a dive 'cause 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, 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
