Travelling Alone

Australian man, Scandinavian tan

Kicking stones round a square

Sat for a while and carved out a smile

As if someone would care

Said I'm a long way from the Gold Coast

Furthest I've ever known

Oh and this just ain't my home

It was my wife's idea, but she's not longer here

She left me travelling alone

I never heard silence

Ring out like a bell

I never heard silence

Like last night in my expensive hotel

Well I'm loving a shadow

I'm trying to catch the rain

But I never heard silence

Till I heard it today

She walked out of the hotel

I could still smell the smoke

Of the burning heart left inside

She said men are all assholes

And life's a bad joke

She laughed and started to cry

See, ten years with this man

And a lifetime of plans

Oh, and I loved him to his bones

But now I've lines on my skin

And he's traded me in

He left me travelling alone

Well I never felt silence

Hit me like a train

I never felt silence

Like blood coursed through my veins

Well, I'm loving a shadow

And I'm trying to catch the rain

I never heard silence

Till I heard it today

I never felt silence

Till I felt it today
