Livin' Thing

---

	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
