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 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 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

A 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



And a thousand word

Call out through the ages

They'll cradle you

Turning all of the lonly years to only days

They'll hold you forever



Ohhhhhh a thousand words
