Livin 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



CHORUS

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



CHORUS -- repeat



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



CHORUS -- repeat
