CAMBODIA

Well 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 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 saddest eyes the girl had never 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 a 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 now

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
