Sailin' away on the crest of a wave It's like magic Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin' It's magic [CHORUS] And you, and your sweet desire, You took me, higher and higher 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 your first day [CHORUS -- repeat] 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 [CHORUS -- repeat]
