Oahu

I was the restless kind

With a heart inclined to play games of chance

Until a dark-eyed girl from another world

Led me a dangerous dance

On the cliffs of Oahu



Oahu Oahu Oahu



We became the slaves of the Pacific waves

That come hard and slow

Sometimes a coral reef shelters a gentle beach

But there's an undertow

On the shores of Oahu



Oahu Oahu Oahu



It wasn't meant to be, she had no time for me

'Cause she was writing her novel

I'm just a haole now, but I'll go back somehow

And I'll stay there forever

For the love of Oahu
