Tsunami

(Album: Hot Show - 1999)

O.K. Ya see t'was 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
Tsu-Tsu-Tsunami

Now some more t'was 1984 tour of duty's
almost over
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

[chorus]

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 from Hong Kong

And like a killer tidal wave she washed my
heart away
And now I'll never be free

I'm still drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsu-Tsu-Tsunami
So long ago so far away she still rises up to
destroy me
Although she's half a world away
It feels like yesterday
I'm still drowning in a wave of ecstasy
Tsu-Tsu-Tsunami
