Cambodia Lyrics - Sonic Diary - Apoptygma Berzerk

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.
