Sailin' away on the crest of a wave

It's like magic

Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'

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

Making believe this is what you've conceived

From your worst day im taking a dive)

Moving in line when you look back in time

To your first day im taking im taking)

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

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

Floating downstream im taking a dive)

So let her go don't start spoiling the show

It's a bad dream im taking im taking)

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 terrible thing to lose

What a terrible thing to lose
