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 swore 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 we can't see I know they are reaching you, suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words One thousand embraces Will cradel you Making all of your weary days seem far away They'll hold you forever
Oh a thousand words Have never been spoken They'll fly to you They'll carry you home, and back into my arms Suspended on silver wings And a thousand words Call out through the ages They'll cradel you Make all of the lonely years to holly days They'll hold you forever
