Intro
Verse
Sailing away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh, rolling and riding and slipping and sliding
It's magic
Chorus
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, oh, higher and higher baby,
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a giving thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
I'm taking a dive. (dive)
Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, (I'm taking a dive)
Moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, (I'm taking I'm taking)
Chorus
And you, and your sweet desire,
(Don't you do it), don't you do it to me, oh,
higher and higher baby
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a giving thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
I'm taking a dive. On the sky
Verse
Taking a dive cause you can't halt the slide
Floating down stream, (I'm taking a dive)
Oh, so let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream, (I'm taking, I'm taking)
And you, and your sweet desire,
(Don't you do it), don't you do it to me, oh,
higher and higher baby
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a giving thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a giving thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
