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]
