Travelling Alone
Australian man, Scandinavian town
Kicking stones around the square
He sat for a while, carved out a smile
As if someone would care
Said I’m a long way from ①the 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
②Ring 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 ③burning 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 ④to his bones
but now I’ve lines on my skin and he’s traded me in
Left me travelling alone
Oh I’ve never felt silence
⑤Hear me like a train
I’ve never felt silence
Like my blood paused in 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
