I know that you're 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 good bye 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
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 whats in my heart
Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Pa**ing over the time
And distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Taking all of the pain
You feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
Wait for me I'll write you letters
I can see how you stared
With your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt
When I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head
And said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough to know
Its not too late
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
(Oh 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
(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
Ohhh
A thousand words...
