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
Oh, 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
Yeah 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 assholes 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 travelling 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
