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 could hear that you whispered
As you walked through that door
But 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
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
A 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 word
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonly years to only days
They'll hold you forever
Ohhhhhh a thousand words
Back to: 
HOME
