Hayes, Darren - Taken By The Sea Lyrics
love, lay me down
slay me with whispers
reassure me that it’s alright
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
but you saw me, then you caught me
swift like a turning sea
angel to comfort me
cradling my head in your hands
I looked up at the sun
and the fog cleared, I saw you
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island, you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea
fall, I took a fall
I took it easy
on the surface I was perfect
but down, way down below
I started believing
I deserved it
was I worthless
sinking like a rescue boat
washing right over me
vessel is struggling
waving both my hands in the air
then the blindness of love
then your arms all around me
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island, you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea
and I want so much to believe
that I won’t disappear in the water
that I won’t always be swimming against the tide
and I want you and that’s so terrifying
and I want you to help put out the fire
cause I am an island and you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea, the sea
I am an island, you are the ocean
all of my sadness taken by the sea

Lyrics:
Love, lay me down
Slay me with whispers
Reassure me that it's alright
I, I hit the deck, I hit rock bottom
But you saw me, then you caught me
Shining like a ray of hope
Swift like a turning sea
Angel to comfort me
Cradling my head in your hands
I looked up at the sun
And the fog cleared, I saw you
And I want you and that's so terrifying
And I want you to help put out the fire
Cause I am an island, you are the ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea
Fall, I took a fall
I took it easy
On the surface I was perfect
But down, way down below
I started believing
I deserved it
Was I worthless
Sinking like a rescue boat
Washing right over me
Vessel is struggling
Waving both my hands in the air
Then the blindness of love
Then your arms all around me
And I want you and that's so terrifying
And I want you to help put out the fire
Cause I am an island, and you are an ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea
And I want so much to believe
That I won't disappear in the water
That I won't always be swimming against the tide
And I want you, is that so terrifying
And I want you to help put out the fire
Cause I am an island and you are the ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea, the sea
I am an island, you are the ocean
All of my sadness taken by the sea

Gorgeous song
Brilliant songwriter and singer
What a beautiful song
Je refuse de t epouser
This is a beautiful song from his best album , in my opinion. Secret Codes.... has to be one of the best pop albums I've ever come across. I actually have three copies of it LOL.
...oh and I think you've done a fantastic job on the video too ! Well Done!
@Name And Address Supplied I have two copies of the album: original CD and Special purple vinyl edition. And thank you very much for your compliments :)
This song is for me and my twin flame Daniel hale :) we met in 2006 dated for a year and a half off and on then we went separate ways but always stayed in contact through Facebook and within the last two months we have reconnected more intimately by confessed our our love for each other realizing we were twin flames aka two souls that use to be one but were split into two and have been looking each other and within all that in only 2 months I moved in with him and got engaged!!!!! And this song is how I feel!
'Cause I am an island and you are the ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea <3
OH AND I WANT YOU
I love this song.. This is from Darren's best album
💐💐💐Darren.

Wonderful song, sound and voice. You are the legend.
this delicate thing we made has weathered a storm of pure emotions and this is possibly the greatest album ever recorded. truly
Almost all his songs are GOOD!!!! Greetings from Poland.
pour les maintenant l'on dit que l'on meurt ici darren et aymy
You are the best always and always 💕💕
Pierre Du toit in Iraq now, wanted me so badly and have waited for so long, just for him not being able to commit, will never love as deeply as we do each other and will always remember our first song, taken by the sea. love u always
this beautiful song taken by the sea was sent to me by the love of my life who found me after looking for me for 20 years. this is our special, first song, its beautiful
I adore Darren and this album especially. Found this masterpiece in early 2015 but haven't listened to it so much. Savage Garden stuff was amazing too. But oh his voice!! Melts my heart.
I absolutely agree with you. All his previous stuff is great but "Secret codes & battleships" is a masterpiece :)
"Because I am an island and you are the ocean
and all of my sadness taken by the sea"
love Darren, love this song!
Lori Sener yup me to
Darren is awesome
he is a great songwriter. I grew up with his music and his songs mean a lot for me
Ernest Lozano so agree with u.. Darren's music is beautiful and resinates with me.

Thank you, TronandFlynn82. My first intention was to try and recreate the sea itself. Mayby not too many effects but with a hint of homesick in it. Glad to read You felt it! :)
This was so visceral for me. I can totally smell the salty ocean air! :)
You did such a fantastic job with this! Bravo!
Thank you!! :)
