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 good-bye before you left
but I was listening
you 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 that pain
when I turn back the pages
Shouting might've 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 One Thousand words
Called out Through the Ages
They'll Fly to you
Even Though I can't see
I Know That Reaching you
Suspended on Silver Wings

Oh One Thousand Words
One Thousand Embraces
Will Cradle You
Making all of Your Weary Days Seem Far Away
They'll Hold you Forever

(Instrumental Break)

Oh One Thousand Words {One Thousand Words}
Have Never been spoken {Oh Yeah}
They'll fly to you
they'll carry you home {carry you home}
back into my arms
Suspended on Silver Wings {On Silver Wings}

And One thousand words {oohh}
Called out through the ages {called through the ages}
They'll cradle you {oh yeah}
Making all of your lonely years into only days {only days}
They'll hold you forever

Ohhhhhhhhhhh

A Thousand Words
