Lyrics Livin' Thing - Live at Wembley Stadium - Electric Light Orchestra

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slipping and sliding
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

(I'm taking a dive, dive)

Making believe this is what you conceived
From your worst day
(I'm taking a dive)
Moving in line then you look back in time
To the first day
(I'm taking a dive)

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

(I'm taking a dive, dive)

Takin' a dive 'cause 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

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