I love the structure of this song, not the usual verse/chorus/verse but a story told in chapters. It's a minor masterpiece in its own way. To me it is all about PTSD and his wife's inability to reach him. The ending is ambiguous though, could mean he was killed or it could mean he never returned to the carefree person he was before he witnessed the true horrors of war. A great song, strangely overlooked.
