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...
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily
