Travelling Alone
Australian man,Scandinavian tanKicking stones round a squareHe sat for a while and carved out a smileAs if someone would care
Said i’m a long way from the gold coastFurthest i’ve ever knownOh and this just ain’t my homeIt was my wife’s ideaBut she’s no longer hereShe left me travelling alone
I’ve never heard silenceRing out like a bellI've never heard silenceLike last night in my expensive hotelWell, i’m loving a shadowAnd trying to catch the rainBut i never heard silenceTill I heard it today
Well she walked out of the hotelI could still smell the smokeOf a burning heart left insideShe said men are all arseholesAnd life’s a bad jokeShe laughed and started to cry
See ten years with this manand a lifetime of plansOh and i loved him to his bonesBut now i’ve lines on my skinAnd he’s traded me inAnd left me travelling alone
Well i never felt silenceHit me like a trainI never felt silenceLike blood course through my veinsWell i’m loving a shadowAnd trying to catch the rainI never heard silenceTill I heard it todayI never felt silenceTill i felt it today
