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
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
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
