Cambodia

Cambodia

Well he was in Thailand bases
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's strange
But then he got a call
He had to leave that night
He couldn't say too much
But it would be alright
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 sadest eyes
The girl had 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 rendez-vous
But now the year has passed
And not a single word and
All the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia – don't cry now – no tears no

And now the years have passed
Without a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again.
