Cambodia

When he was Thailand based
She was an nervous wife
He used to fly week-ends
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
She 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 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
Among the airs
Cambodia - Don´t cry now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there´s only one thing left
I know for sure
She won´t see his face again
She was an nervous wife
He used to fly week-ends
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
She 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 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
Among the airs
Cambodia - Don´t cry now
And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there´s only one thing left
I know for sure
She won´t see his face again
