Cambodia Lyrics

Cambodia lyrics

W e l l
he was Thailand based
she was an airforce-wife.
He used to fly
weekends
it was the easy life.
But then it turned around and he began to
change.
She didn't wonder then
she didn't think it strange.
But then
he got a call
he had to leave that night.
He couldn't say too much
but
it would be all right.
He didn't need to pack - they'd meet the next
night.
He had a job to do
flying to Cambodia.
And as the nights passed
by she tried to trace the past.
The way he used to look
the way he used to
laugh.
I guess she'll never know what got inside his soul.
She couldn't
make it out
just couldn't take it all.
He had the saddest eyes that you
have ever seen.
He used to cry some nights as though he lived a
dream.
And as she held him close he used to search her face
As though she
knew the truth - lost inside Cambodia.
But then a call came through
they
said he'd soon be home.
She had to pack a case and they would make a
rendezvous.
But now a year has passed and not a single word
And all the
love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze.
And now the years have
passed with not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for
sure
she won't see his face again.
