Kim Wilde - Cambodia (lyrics)

credits: Kim Wilde Like and Sub 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 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
