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 (will) 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
And still I swore
to hide the pain when I turned 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
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 (ohh)
They'll fly
to you
They'll carry you home (carry you hoome)
And back into my arms
(aaarms)
Suspended on silver wings (on silver wings)
And a thousand words
(oooh)
Called out through the ages (called through the ages)
Will cradle you (ooh
yeah)
Turning all of the lonely years to only days (only days)
They'll hold you
forever
