Interesting song from Peter Gabriel. His songs tend to fall into two categories:
Emotional songs that often tell the story of people in despair (this type of song, "Don't Give Up," "Solsbury Hill," "Mercy Street," etc.) and often make you think or say something about humanity.
Songs about sex ("Sledgehammer," "Steam")
So to say this song is about a refugee is interesting, but I wonder what he is really trying to say in this song. Maybe I am reading too much into this, but it certainly isn't one of his sex songs.
this song is about a someone who has come home, but has lost everything and is alone/loneley... and someone has taken interest in them and wants to help and love him, but he is too bitter to let them in...
