It's A Living Thing lyrics

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Oh and rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and sliding
It's magic

And you, and your sweet desire
You took me, oh, 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 takin' a dive
Dive

Making believe this is what you've conceived
From your worst day, I'm takin' a dive
Oh, moving in line when you look back in time
To the first day, I'm taken, I'm taken
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/e/electric_light_orchestra/its_a_living_thing.html ]
And you and your sweet desire
Don't you do it, don't you do it
You took me, oh, higher and higher, baby

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

And I'm takin' a dive
Ah the slide, hey

Takin' a dive 'cause you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream, I'm takin' a dive
Ah so let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream, I'm taken, I'm taken

And you and your sweet desire
Don't you do it, don't you do it
You took me, oh, 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
