Cambodian Girl Lyrics

Bzn Cambodian Girl

In a paradise now rotten to the core there's a jungle lost in deafening acts of war where the people throng the road to fly away life's torn to pieces 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 cry 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 right before the dawn they await so afraid, 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 upon my shoulder once you will be back where you belong

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.
