Taken by the Sea Lyrics
by Darren Hayes
I play this with the capo on the 4th fret. I worked it out just messing around.
I don't promise there are no mistakes, so feel free to leave corrections in the
comments, but it does work to sing to, even if it isn't perfect.
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, 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, you are the ocean
And all of my sadness taken by the sea
