Australian man, Scandinavian town
Kicking stones around the square
He sat for a while, forced out a smile
Said I’m a long way from the gold coast
It was my wife’s idea but she’s no longer here
She left me travelling alone
Oh, I never heard silence
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 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
Oh, I’ve never heard silence
Like my blood courses through my veins
and I’m trying to catch the rain
