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 goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You fight your battles far from me
Far to 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 turn back the pages
Shouting might have been the 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
Oh a thousand words have never been spoken
They'll fly to you crossing over the time
And distance holding you suspended on silver wings
And a thousand words
One thousand confessions will cradle you
Making all the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever...
The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say
Wait for me I'll write you letters
I can see how you stand there with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt when I turned back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I hung my head and said that I couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late
'Cause a thousand words called out through the ages
They'll fly to you even though we 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 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 turning all of the loving into only days
They'll hold you forever...
