I know that your 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 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 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 

Cause a thousand words 
Call out through the ages 
They'll fly to you 
Even though I can't see 
I know they are reaching you 
Suspended on silver wings 
Oh a thousand words 
A 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 (ohh yeah) 
They'll fly to you 
They'll carry you home, (carry you home) and into my arms
Suspended on silver wings (on silver wings)
And a thousand words (ohh)
Call out through the ages (call through the ages) They'll cradle you
(ohh yeah) 
Make all of the lonely years to lonely days (lonely days) 
They'll hold you forever 

Ohhhhhhhhhhh a thousand words...
