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 good bye before you left
But I was listening

Don't 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 not afraid

To say whats in my heart

Oh a thousand words

Have never been spoken
Will fly to you
Passing over the time

And distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings


And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you

Taking all of the pain
You feel so far away
They'll hold you forever


The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I cant 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 stared

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

Its not too late

Cause a thousand words

Called out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see

I know their reaching you
Suspended on silver wings


Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you

Making all of your weary
They seem far away
They'll hold you forever


Oh a thousand words
(One thousand words)

have never been spoken
(Oh Yeah)
They'll fly to you
And carry you home
(Carry you home!)

And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings!
(On silver wings!)

And one thousand words

(oh)
Called out through the ages
(Call through the ages)
They'll cradle you
(Oh yeah)

Through all of the lonely
No more lonely days (Lonely days) They'll hold you forever

Ohhh
A thousand words...
