50.Livin' Thing

Lyricist:Jeff Lynne

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, ooh, woah
(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 conceived from your worst day
(I'm thinking of dying)

Moving in line then you look
Back in time to the first day
(I'm thinking, I'm thinking)

And you and your sweet desire
You took me, ooh, woah
(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
(I'm thinking of dying)

So let her go, don't start
Spoiling the show, it's a bad dream
(I'm thinking , I'm thinking )

And you and your sweet desire
You took me, ooh, woah
(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 terrible thing to lose
What a terrible thing to lose
