I know that you`re hiding things,
using gentle words to shelter me.
Your words are 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.
(Chorus)
`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,
one thousand embraces,
will cradle you.
Making all of your weary days seem far away.
They`ll hold you forever.
Oh a thousand words {A thousand words}
Have never been spoken {Oh, yeah}
They`ll fly to you, they`ll carry you home {Carry you home}
and back into my arms.
Suspended on silver wings {On silver wings}
And a thousand words
Call out through the ages {Call through the ages}
They`ll cradle you {Oh yeah}
Turning all of your lonely years to only days {Only days}
They`ll hold you forever.
