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 can hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain, as 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 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
Seem far away
They'll haunt 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 always
I still hear you say

"Wait for me, I'll write you letters."
I could see how you stammered with your eyes down 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 I that couldn't wait
But now I'm strong enough to say
That its not too late

'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
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of the lonely days seem far away
They'll haunt you forever

Oh, a thousand words(a thousand words)
Have never been spoken(ooh, yeah)
They'll fly to you, they'll carry you home(carry you home)
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings(on silver wings)
And a thousand words(oh)
Call out through the ages(conquer the ages)
They'll cradle you(oh yeah)
Making all of the lonely years seem only days(only days)
They'll haunt you forever
A thousand words...
