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 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 that pain

when I turn back the pages

Shouting might've 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 One Thousand words

Called out Through the Ages

They'll Fly to you

Even Though I can't see

I Know That Reaching you

Suspended on Silver Wings



Oh One Thousand Words

One Thousand Embraces

Will Cradle You

Making all of Your Weary Days Seem Far Away

They'll Hold you Forever........



(Instrumental Break)



Oh One Thousand Words {One Thousand Words}

Have Never been spoken {Oh Yeah}

They'll fly to you

they'll carry you home {carry you home}

back into my arms

Suspended on Silver Wings {On Silver Wings}



And One thousand words {oohh}

Called out through the ages {called through the ages}

They'll cradle you {oh yeah}

Making all of your lonely years into only days {only days}

They'll hold you forever.........



Ohhhhhhhhhhh



A Thousand Words...
