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 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

Oh a thousand words
have never been spoken
Will 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 of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever!

(instrumental break)

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 to write you letters"
I could see how you stammered with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore
To hide the doubt when I turn back the pages

Anger might've been the answer
What if I'd hold 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 call out through the ages
Will Fly to you
Even though I 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

(instrumental break)

Oh a thousand words (a thousand words)
have never been spoken (oh ye~)
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home (carry you home~) and back into my arms
Suspended on Silver wings! (Ohhh silver wings~)

And a thousand words (oh oh~) call out through the ages

They'll cradle you (Oh ye!)
Turning all of the lonely years to only days (only days~)
They'll hold you forever!

Oh ~~~
A thousand words...
