I know that youre hiding things
Using gentle words to shatter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
I acted so distant then
Didnt say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
Youll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily
Save your tears 'cause Ill 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 out a breathy answer
What if I cried my eyes out and
Begged you not to part?
But now I'm not afraid
To say what's in my heart...
Cause thousand words
call out through the ages
Theyll fly to you
Even though I cant see
I know theyre reaching you
Suspended on silver wings
Oh a thousand words
and a thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weariness
Seem far away
Theyll hold you forever
Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
Theyll fly to you
Theyll carry you on
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
Theyll cradle you
Holding all of the loneliness
To only days
Theyll hold you forever
A thousand words
