| Australian man, Scandinavian town
|
| Kicking stones around the 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 no 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, 'til 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 and I loved him to his bones
|
| 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
|
| 'Til I heard it today
|
| I never felt silence
|
| 'TiI I felt it today |
