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 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      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   A 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 word   Call out through the ages   They'll cradle you   Turning all of the lonly years to only days   They'll hold you forever      Ohhhhhh a thousand words
