When he came back
When he came back from the war
So much different than before.
He would sit and stare at the wall.
Thinking there was nothing more.
Do you know what I mean.
Because nobody knew what he had seen
When he decided to go to war
Thought that he would just explore.
He kissed her gently and said goodbye.
Promised he’d be back, please don’t cry.
But you know what I mean.
Because nobody knew what he had seen
His wife would remember all the good times they had had.
She’d recall he promised her
He’d be a real good dad
But now none of this will ever be.
When he came back from the war
He didn't need a woman any more
She washed his face and combed his hair.
Only when she had time to spare.
But you know what I mean.
Guess you know what I mean.
Because no one saw what he had seen.
