I know that you're hiding things
using gentle words to shelter me.
Your words were like a dream,
but dreams can 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 I can't see,
I know they're reaching you
suspended on silver wings.
Oh a thousand words,
One thousand embraces
will cradle 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. (ohoh yeah)
They'll fly to you
they'll carry you home (carry you home)
and back into my arms
-suspended on silver wings. (oh silver wings)
And a thousand words (oh-oh)
call out through the ages. (call through the ages)
They'll cradle you (oh yeah)
turning all of the lonely years to only days (only days)
They'll hold you forever...
A thousand words...
