Linvin' Thing

Electric Light Orchestra

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 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,


Moving in line when you look back in time


To your first day


And you, and your sweet desire,


You took me,


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.


Takin' a dive 'cos 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 It's a livin' thing,


It's a terrible thing to lose


It's a given thing


What a terrible thing to lose.
