Basically nothin' has changed    She explained   Were so happy you're home again   You take the winter    Back on your feet   Your bed is bein' made   And your father washed the sheets for you      So we talked a while   About all my wars   The smiles worse than I told you so   She said to wash up and get to bed   I knew the freedom I had learned   I'd learned quickly to forget      And nobody understands   And nobody seems to care   'Bout the compromise of a man    Comin' home after five long years   Givin' up after five long years      Unpack my bags in the livin' room   Smell the last of her sweet perfume   Came from the girl that went with the world that I traded in today   Just to live a safer way      And nobody understands    And nobody seems to care   'Bout the compromise of a man   Comin' home after five long years    Givin' up after five long years      She says your always welcome here   You'll never be alone   Perhaps that's now my greatest fear   I'll always call this home   This home
