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

Ooohhha thousand words
