I know that you're 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
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 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
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
and a 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 on
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Holding all of the loneliness
To only days
They'll hold you forever

A thousand words
