Got to agree with pretty much everything said here... a strained father/daughter relationship... Not quite sure I agree with the sexual abuse idea. I think the song title "soldiers daughter" suggests an overbearing father.
As for the last part...
"So over the hills he'd climb
Just to see her there in time
Just to watch the sun shine through her dress"
Looks like after all is said and done, the daughter has written off her father, only after his realization that he made mistakes in the past and wishes to repent.
