I know that your 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 all 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 there reaching you
Suspended on silver sings

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 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 you
Making all of your lonely years seem only days
They'll hold you forever
