Well he was in 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 couln'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 the year has passed and
Not a single word and
All the love she knew has disappeared
Out in the haze

And now the years have passed
Without a single word
But there is only one thing left I
Know for sure,
She won't see his face again
