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 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 Though a thousand words Have never been spoken They'll fly to you Crossing over the tide And this is holding you Suspended on silver wings And a thousand words One thousand confessions Will craddle you, making all of the pain seem far away They'll gold you forever The dream isn't over yet Though i often say i can forget I still relive that day You've been with me all the way I still hear you say Wait for me i'll write you letters I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor But still i swore to hide the doubt When i turned back the pages Anger might've been the answer What if I hung my head and said I couldn't wait? But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late 'cause a thousand words called out through the ages they'll 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 weariness 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 words called out through the ages they'll cradle turning all of your lonely years to only days they'll hold you forever
