I know that youre 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

Didnt say goodbye before you left

But I was listening

Youll fight your battles far from me

Far too easily



Save your tears 'cause Ill 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

Theyll fly to you

Even though I cant see

I know theyre 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

Theyll hold you forever



Oh a thousand words

Have never been spoken

Theyll fly to you

Theyll carry you on

And back into my arms

Suspended on silver wings



And a thousand words

Call out through the ages

Theyll cradle you

Holding all of the loneliness

To only days

Theyll hold you forever



A thousand words
