I know that your hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
"Save your tears cause I'll come back"
I could hear that you whispered
as you walked through that door
but still I strove
To hide the pain, when I turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say
what's in my heart
Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see
I know they are reaching you,
suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words
A thousand embraces
Will craddle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever
Oh a thousand words ( a thousand words)
Have never been spoken ( ohh yeah)
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home, (carry you home)
and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings (on silver wings!)
And a thousand words ( ohh)
Call out through the ages ( call through the ages!)
They'll craddle you (ohh yeah)
Making all of your lonely years seem only days ( only days)
They'll hold you forever.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh a thousand words
