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 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 can 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



Though a thousand words

Had never been spoken

Will fly to you

Crossing over the time and distance holding you

Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words

One thousand confessions

Will cradle you making 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't forget

I still relive that day

You've been there with me all the way

I still hear you say

?Wait for me to write you letters?

I can see how you stand 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'dhung my head and said that I couldn't wait?

But now I'm strong enough to know

It's not too late



Cause a thousand words call out through the ages

Will fly to you

Even though we 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



Though a thousand words have never been spoken

Will fly to you

They'll carry you home

And back into my arms

Suspended on silver wings, oh

And a thousand words called out through the ages

Will cradle you

Turning all of your lonely years to only days

They'll hold you forever
