Travelling Alone Lyrics

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 a***holes ,
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
