Travelling Alone

Australian man, Scandinavian town

Kicking stones around the square

He sat for a while, forced out a smile

As if someone would care

Said I’m a long way from the gold coast

Furthest I’ve ever known

This just ain’t my home

It was my wife’s idea but she’s no longer here

She left me travelling alone

Oh, I never heard silence

Ring out like a bell

I never heard silence like last night in my expensive hotel

See I’m loving a shadow, trying to catch the rain

I never heard silence, like I heard it today

Well she walked out of the hotel

I could still smell the smoke, of a burning heart left inside

She said men are all assholes and life’s a bad joke

She laughed and started to cry

Well, 10 years with this man and a life time of plans

You know I loved him to his bones

but now I’ve lines on my skin and he’s traded me in

Left me travelling alone

Oh, I’ve never heard silence

It hit me like a train

I’ve never felt silence

Like my blood courses through my veins

Oh, I’m loving a shadow

and I’m trying to catch the rain

I never felt silence

Like I felt it today

I never felt silence

Like I felt it today
