Lyrics of Tsunami

Okay, you see, 'twas 1983
When we first walked arm in arm
Across the sea, it was my destiny
That i'd find her in hong kong

There it was, a soldier falls in love
As we walked through lan kwai fong
Limousines and new wave beauty queens
And a romance just begun

Ya, tsunami was her name
Like a tidal wave she came
And now, i'll never be free

I was drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsunami
Just when you think the worst has past
She rises up to destroy me

Just when you think it's safe to sail again
Ya, she rises up and then
I'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsunami

Now, some more, 'twas 1984
Tour of duty's almost over
I begged that girl to join me in my world
But no man could control her

Out of the south china sea
Tsunami rolled over me
And now, i'll never be free

I was drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsunami
Just when you think the worst has past
She rises up to destroy me

Just when you think it's safe to sail again
Ya, she rises up and then
I'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsunami

I told you 'bout europa and me
And how she haunted every memory
Went 'round the world just to forget that song
To sing a new one for a girl in hong kong

And like a killer tidal wave
She washed my heart away
And now, i'll never be free

I was drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsunami
So long ago, so far away
She still rises up to destroy me

Although she's half the world away
Yet it feels like yesterday
I'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Ya, i'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsunami

Just when you think the worst is past
She rises up to destroy me
Just when you think, it's safe to sail again
Yet she rises up and then

I'm drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsunami, tsunami, tsunami, tsunami
