I know that you are 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'll 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
While I turned 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
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings ohhh
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years to only days
They'll hold you forever
A thousand words
