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 to 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 Oh 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 can see how you stand there with your eyes to the floor But still I swore To hide the doubt When I turned 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 called 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 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 back into my arms Suspended on silver wings And a thousand words called out through the ages They'll cradle you Turning all of the lonely years into only days They'll hold you forever...
