6ths 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
Oahu Oahu Oahu Oahu Oahu Oahu Oahu
