I know that you&9re 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&9t say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You&9ll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily

&9Save your tears &9cause I&9ll come back&9
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&9d cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I&9m not afraid
To say what&9s in my heart

Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They&9ll 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 the pain you feel seem far away
They&9ll hold you forever

The dream isn&9t over yet
Though I often say I can&9t forget
I still relive that day
You&9ve been there with me all the way
I still hear you say:

&9Wait for me I&9ll write you letters&9
I could see how you stammered
With your eyes 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 hung my head and said
That I couldn&9t wait?
But now I&9m strong enough
To know it&9s not too late

&9Cause a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They&9ll fly to you
Even though I can&9t see
I know they&9re 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&9ll hold you forever

Oh, a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They&9ll fly to you,
They&9ll carry you home, and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings, ooh

And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They&9ll cradle you,
Turning all of the lonely years to only days
They&9ll hold you forever

A thousand words
