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
oh 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
well I’m loving a shadow,
trying to catch the rain
I never heard silence,
till I heard it today.
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
see 10 years with this man
and a life time of plans
oh I 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 vein
Oh I’m loving a shadow
and I’m trying to catch the rain
I never heard silence
Like I heard it today
I never felt silence
till I felt it today
