Islands In the Stream
Ray Dylan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There was peace unknown
I set out to get you
With a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside
There was something going on
You do something to me
Hold me closer and I feel no pain
Every beat of my heart
We got something going on
Tender love is blind
It requires a dedication
All this love we feel
Needs no conversation
We can ride it together, ah-ha
Making love with each other, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
I can't live without you
If the love was gone
Everything is nothing
If you got no one
And you did walk in the night
Slowly losing sight of the real thing
But that won't happen to us
And we got no doubt
Too deep in love and we got no way out
And the message is clear
This could be the year for the real thing
No more will you cry
Baby, I will hurt you never
We start and end as one
In love forever
We can ride it together, ah-ha
Making love with each other, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
Sail away
Ooooh, come sail away with me
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me
To another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ha
From one lover to another, ah-ha
The song "Islands in the Stream" by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton was originally written by the Bee Gees in 1983, and was later covered by various artists. Ray Dylan and Elizma Theron's version of the song features a tale of two people who have found peace and love with each other amidst a chaotic world. The lyrics describe the power of love between two individuals, and how it makes everything else in the world seem insignificant. The song portrays an idealistic view of love, where two people are devoted to and rely solely on each other.
The first verse describes how the singer initially felt soft and vulnerable when they first met their partner, but over time they found peace and started to feel something powerful pulling them closer. The second verse emphasizes the importance of love in life, and how it needs to be treated with care and dedication. The chorus repeats the metaphor of being "Islands in the Stream" where the couple is alone and devoted to each other, with no one else coming in between them. The song ends with a hopeful outlook, with the couple planning to sail away together to a new world where they can continue to rely on each other.
