Cambodia
Lost Love in Cambodia: A Tale of Tears and Silence
Lyrics
Well he was Thailand based
Introduction of a man based in Thailand
She was an airforce wife
His spouse is an airforce wife
He used to fly weekends
He used to fly on weekends, enjoying an easy life
It was the easy life
Life takes a turn, and he starts to change
But then it turned around
Unexpected events unfold
And he began to change
His behavior undergoes a transformation
She didn't wonder then
His spouse doesn't notice or find it odd
She didn't think it strange
She doesn't question the changes
But then he got a call
He receives a sudden call
He had to leave that night
He has to leave urgently that night
He couldn't say too much
He can't reveal much, but assures it'll be okay
But it would be alright
Reassurance that things will be fine
He didn't need to pack
No need to pack; they'll meet the next night
They'd meet the next night
Plans for a reunion
He had a job to do
He has a job to do, flying to Cambodia
Flying to Cambodia
Introduction of Cambodia as a significant location
And as the nights passed by
Time passes, and she reflects on the past
She tried to trace the past
Attempts to understand his previous self
The way he used to look
Memories of his appearance
The way he used to laugh
Recollections of his laughter
I guess she'll never know
Uncertainty about what changed him
What got inside his soul
His inner turmoil remains a mystery
She couldn't make it out
She struggles to comprehend
Just couldn't take it all
Overwhelmed and unable to cope
He had the saddest eyes
His eyes reflect deep sadness
The girl had ever seen
His emotional pain is evident
He used to cry some nights
He used to cry, living a seemingly unreal life
As though he lived a dream
A sense of living in a dream
And as she held him close
She comforts him, trying to understand
He used to search her face
He searches her face for answers
As though she knew the truth
Seeking truth, lost in the context of Cambodia
Lost inside Cambodia
Reiteration of being lost in Cambodia
But then a call came through
A call brings hope; he'll soon be home
They said he'd soon be home
Plans for a reunion, packing for it
She had to pack a case
Preparation for a rendezvous
And they would make a rendez-vous
A year passes with no communication
But now a year has passed
Time has elapsed with silence
And not a single word
No news despite the waiting
And all the love she knew
The love she knew has vanished
Has disappeared out in the haze
All love disappears in a haze
(Cambodia, don't cry now, no tears now)
An emotional plea for Cambodia not to cry
And now the years have passed
Years pass with continued silence
With not a single word
No communication, but one certainty remains
But there is only one thing left
Only one thing is certain
I know for sure
Assurance that she won't see his face again
She won't see his face again
Closure on the relationship, no reunion
