Steam was rising In the Asian quarter When she stepped out in the street Voices dropped And every eye was on her As she braved the midnight heat Dominique She was a cool oasis She could soothe the burning heart Dreams of passion Written on their faces One by one they fall apart Soldiers of fortune surrender Like children And follow wherever she leads And they all fall down It's on more night of [Chorus:] Dominoes, dominoes Every heart is falling But something else is calling Her into the night (Can't you hear me) Dominoes, dominoes I'm coming back to find you Don't let the shadows blind You from love When it's mine To eyes that stared She never shared emotion It's a secret that she keeps And no one sees The tears that I see falling Urgent whispers callin' me Conquering heroes have soon Fallen prey to that Far away look in her eyes And they all fall down It's one more night of [Chorus] And they all fall down And they all fall down Can't you hear me Can't you hear me [Chorus]
