Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' 
And slippin' and 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
Moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day

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
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, baby
It's a livin' thing
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose
