Electric Light Orchestra - Livin' Thing Lyrics

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave it's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin' it's magic

And you, and your sweet desire
You took me, oh 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

I'm taken, I'm dying, dying

Making believe this is what you've conceived from your worst day
Moving in line when you look back in time to the first day

And you, and your sweet desire
You took me, oh 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

I'm take take it down on a stream hey

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, oh 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

It's a livin' thing, it's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
