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 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

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
