Well he was 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 couldn'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
Ans 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 a year has passed
And not a single word
And all the love she knew
Has disappeared out in the haze
Cambodia - don't cry now - no tears now

And now the years have passed
With not a single word
But there is only one thing left
I know for sure
She won't see his face again

Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over
Meet me tonight

I've been sitting here alone
Looking down this telephone
Thinking things i'd really love to say to you
Oh, it's true
I can't get enough of how you love
That's the truth i swear to you

Can you come over
Can you come over - think of what we could do
If you decide to, if you're alive to
What i want from a guy like you

Darlin, can you come over
Can you come over - meet me tonight

Watching movies on tv
Never does a thing for me
I get bored just living here and hanging 'round
Toss a coin it's heads or tails
If i run a bath or do my nails
What's it really matter when i'm far away from you

If you come over
If you come over - i could be good for you
Wouldn't you please me
It could be easy
Just stay here for a night or two

Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over - meet me tonight

I'm the girl who waits for you
I'm the girl who needs you too
I'm the girl who wants you tonight

Darlin', can you come over
Can you come over
Meet me tonight

I watch a man sitting down the park
The flashy suit manufactured by the makers
He's got a pen and he circles an add
It makes him laugh 'cos he's reading dirty papers

2-6-5-8-0

She doesn't know but she's getting his call
He's talking straight but he wants it in a strange way
She combs her hair doesn't worry at all
He could be mad but its just another pay day

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

She likes to live on the poor side of town
She's shacking down with a guy from west guiana
The boys around always look at the ground
Oh, what they'd give for a night with that piranha

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

She doesn't have to make her money that way
She's such a pretty young girl
I guess they love it 'cos you hear when they stay
They cry oh, oh, oh

This guy arrives looking scared as a rat
He needs her love but he wants it like a brother
Three hours later he crawls out on his knees
She's laughing loud 'cos he's calling for his mother

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0
2-6-5-8-0 oh, dial it if you want to know me

Just two lovers in a seedy cafe
Someone's leaving, the waiter says "hey, won't you wait"
Running nowhere, she hides in her room
What he told her had to get out and soon

It's just a bad affair you've had
No need to cry, don't take it bad
You'll soon be glad when you're far apart

You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again

Now she's breaking but what can she do
Somewhere out there a car disappears out of view
Fumbles somewhere for stale cigarettes
Looks for numbers, the ones she could dial but forgets

No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you''re free

You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again

No point in you just looking down
No way that you can turn it around
You've go to realise you're free

You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
You'll never be so wrong, not for a long time
'cause i'm never gonna find that feeling again
I'm never gonna find that feeling again

Lost in the dark the lovers embrace
As the last song plays, everyone makes for home
Now it's just me and you alone

And i won't really care if we can't meet again
You just live your life i'm just a night to pass
You're just a dream that couldn't last

Take me tonight
Take me tonight
Take me tonight
I want you, i want you - want me too ?

No way of knowing just where my life's going
Who cares if it's wrong or it's right
When all i believe in is just how i'm feeling tonight

Oh, take me tonight
Take me tonight
Take me tonight
I want you, i want you

To fade

Written by ricky & marty wilde

What can i say now after all is said and done
You cut me up in pieces when the shooting first begun
What did i do to you to make you turn away
'cause now there's nothing left for me
There's nothing i can say

Now it's too late you feeling sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it

Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby

You said you loved me, i believed you for a while
You sure could fool the angels
When you use that painted smile
I should have known that it was too good to be true
But now that it's all over, you know i won't forget you

Now it's too late you feeling sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it

Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby

So now it's over and there's nothing left to say
The flame that burned within my heart
Now slowly fades away
So don't you ever think of knocking at my door
Just turn the light out, close your eyes
And think of me no more

And it's too late to say you're sorry
You'll never change
And there's nothing you can do about it

Falling out - why did you do it to me, yeah
Falling out - cutting me up into pieces
Falling out - you know that you upset me, yeah
Falling out - you know that i'm so hurt baby

Lost in the night, out on the streets
And blown into the wind
She was just heading for trouble
When they got her downstairs

Cut by the lights, strands of her hair
Just tumble from her cheeks
She's just another caucasion in a crime worn day

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Lost in the night, somebody said go easy on the girl
You'll never get a confession
If you treat her that way
Two pairs of eyes shout at her face and late into the night
They heard a softer whisper saying
"let me go"

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Wendy sadd has flown away
Wendy found her freedom
No-one else could follow there
Not inside the world of wendy sadd

Somebody shouts, something is wrong and panick hits the room
They said she looked at the ceiling and the lights went out
Clutched in her hand
All they could find was a letter that she'd wrote
It said try and forgive them
For what they've done

Inside her heart was breaking
No-one knew what she'd been through
Inside her mind's escaping
To a world that no-one knew

Wendy sadd has flown away
Wendy found her freedom
No-one else could follow there
Not inside the world of wendy sadd

Cascading down
There's a sound vaporising into vision
It's a sound in my head
That i feel and it shuts me in a prison

Say it won't last
Say it will pass
Always the sound in my brain
Can you hear it

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Dancing away
Like the lights on a moving coloured river
Sounds in my head seem to run
And again i feel a shiver

Say it won't last
Pray it will pass
Always that sound in my brain
Can you hear it (can you hear it)

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Water on glass running down again
Water on glass that sound
Water on glass running round again
Help me, the sound of running water's
Coming down

Cruising 'round there's a sound with a place to go
Tuning in tuning on like a radio
Fell the sound in your head and you set the seal
I believe it's a force of the life you feel - tuning on

Do you know what the sounds that you hear will find
Reach to space to the stars and another time
I believe that they search like a seed to grow
In the end it's the same anyway you go

I really can't explain
I really can't explain

Crashing out for the last and the final time
Could a sound and a soul travel on combined
From the womb to the end is it everywhere
Feel the beat of my heart and you know it's there

I really can't explain

Spoken

I really believe that sound reaches infinity, do you know what i mean. i think it goes on and on forever, and if that's true and it was linked to the spiritual side of your lives, well, then sou
Ould be alive. can you imagine the possibilities for the future ? linking the soul and the sound and then being able to make a giant spiritual musical machine, actually a part of us and not just
Thing you hear - it's fantastic - it's just fantastic

I really can't explain

I wake up in the morning, looking for reaction
Then i see your faces, only for fraction
Did you hurt my feelings ? you just nailed me to the wall

Never say you're sorry, never show emotion
Never show a good hand, never give a notion
Don't you feel it's obscene ? do you feel a thing at all ?

Chorus:
'cos you come right back with the same old story
Words fell down
Words fell down
You walk right back to the sound of glory
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless, it's so helpless

Always a deceiver, never any answers
Living in the shadows, taking any chances
When you get a good line, come and talk in to my face

Chorus

You fight right back with the same reaction
Words fell down
Words fell down
The same old show with the same old caption
Words fell down
Words fell down
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless
Oh, oh, oh, it's so helpless, it's so helpless
