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 part
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 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 -ooh yeah-
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home, -carry you home- and into my arms
Suspended on silver wings -on silver wings-
And a thousand words -ooh-
Call out through the ages -call through the ages- They'll cradle you -ooh yeah-
Make all of the lonely years to lonely days -lonely days-
They'll hold you forever

Oooh a thousand words...
