Travelling Alone

Travelling Alone - Passenger

Australian man Scandinavian tan

Kicking stones round a 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

For this dive ever known

Oh and this just ain't my home

It was my wife my dear 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 till I heard it today

She walked out of the hotel

I could still smell the smoke

Of the burning heart left inside

She said men are all assholes

And life's a bad joke

She laughed and started to cry

See ten years with this man

And a life time of plans

Oh and I loved him to his bones

Now I have lines on my skin

And he has traded me

He left me travelling alone

Well I never felt silence hear me like a train

I never felt silence like blood

Caused through my veins

Well I'm loving a shadow

And I'm trying to catch the rain

I never heard silence till I heard it today

I never felt silence till I felt it today
