Australian man, Scandinavian town,
Kicking stones round 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.
For this dive I’ve ever known,
Oh this is 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,
Till I heard it today.
Australian man, Scandinavian town,
Kicking stones round a square.
Sat for a while and carved out a smile,
As if someone would care.
