Sailing away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rolling and riding and slipping and sliding
It's magic
CHORUS
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a living 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 your first day
CHORUS
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
Taking a dive 'couse you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream,
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream
CHORUS
And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a living thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose.
