Breaks
‘Basically nothing has changed,” she explained
“We’re so happy you’re home again
You take the winter, get back on your feet
Your bed has been made
Your father washed the sheets for you”
So we talked awhile about all my woes
The smile’s worse than “I told you so’s”
And she said to wash up and get to bed
I knew the freedom I had learned
I’d learn 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
Unpacked my bags in the living room
Smelled the last of a 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 “You’re always welcome here,
You’ll never be alone”
Perhaps that’s now my greatest fear
I’ll always call this home
This home’
Some old JM lyrics that sum up a lot of things quite well
