Cambodian girl lyrics

In a paradise now rotten to the core

there's ajungle lost in deafening acts of war

where the people throng the road to fly away

life's torn to peaces day by day.

crowded river boats defy a blistering sun

to a nowhere land, my God, what have they done

while the waves are rolling high, the end is near

and she is crying, a crying of fear.

cambodian girl, dry your eyes and turn it over

one day you're homeward bound back to the sun.

cambodian girl, lay your head upon my shoulder

once you will be back where you belong.

but the darkest hour is just before the dawn

they await so afriad, but carry on

there's a light, a ray of hope, and no more grief

a new tomorrow, a land of make believe.

cambodian girl, dry your eyes and turn it over

one day you're homeward bound back to the sun

cambodian girl, lay your head uopn my shoulder

once you wïll be back where you belong..-
