Cambodia

Well he was Thailand based

She was an air force 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 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



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
