Travelling Alone

Australian man Scandinavian tan Kicking stones round a square He 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 no longer here She left me travelling alone I've never heard silence Ring out like a bell I've never heard silence Like last night in my expensive hotel Well i'm loving a shadow And trying to catch the rain But i never heard silence Til 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 arseholes 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 And left me travelling alone Well i never felt silence Hit me like a train I never felt silence Like blood course through my veins Well i'm loving a shadow And trying to catch the rain I never heard silence Til i heard it today I never felt silence Til i felt it today
