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 This just ain't my home It was my wife's idea but she's no longer here She left me traveling alone Oh I never heard silence Ring 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 burning heart left inside She said men are all a**holes 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 to his bones But now I've lines on my skin and he's traded me in Left me traveling alone Oh I've never heard silence It hit me like a train I've never felt silence Like my blood courses through 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
