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 turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the answer
What if I`d 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
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 (oh)
Call out through the ages(call through the ages!)
They`ll cradle you(oh yeah)
Turning all of the lonely years to only days(only days)
They`ll hold you forever
