Travelling Alone - Passenger

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
