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 depart But now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heart Though 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 of 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 could see how you stand with your eyes to the floor But still I swore To hide the doubt when I turn back the pages Anger might have been the answer What if I'd 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 Call out through the ages They'll fly to you Even though we can't see I know they are 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 into my arms Suspended on silver wings And a thousand words Call out through the ages They'll cradle you Make all of the lonely years to lonely days They'll hold you forever. Oh, a thousand words
