A THOUSAND WORDS
I know that your hiding thingsUsing gentle words to shelter meYour words were like a dreamBut dreams could never fool meNot that easilyI acted so distant thenDidn't say goodbye before you leftBut I was listeningYou fight your battles far from meFar too easily"Save your tears cause I'll come back"I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that doorBut still I sworeTo hide the pain, when I turn back the pagesShouting might have been the answerWhat if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to departBut now I'm not afraid to say what's in my heartThough a thousand wordsHave never been spokenThey'll fly to youCrossing over the timeAnd distance holding you, suspended on silver wingsAnd a thousand wordsOne thousand confessionsWill cradle youMaking all of the pain you feel seem far awayThey'll hold you foreverThe dream isn't over yetThough I often say I can't forgetI still relive that dayYou've been there with me all the wayI still hear you say"Wait for me, I'll write you letters"I could see how you stand with your eyes to the floorBut still I sworeTo hide the doubt when I turn back the pagesAnger might have been the answerWhat if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't waitBut now I'm strong enough to know it's not too lateCause a thousand wordsCall out through the agesThey'll fly to youEven though we can't seeI know they are reaching you, suspended on silver wingsOh a thousand wordsOne thousand embracesWill cradle youMaking all of your weary days seem far awayThey'll hold you foreverOh a thousand words (a thousand words)Have never been spoken (ohh yeah)They'll fly to youThey'll carry you home, (carry you home) and into my armsSuspended on silver wings (on silver wings!)And a thousand words (ohh)Call out through the ages (call through the ages!)They'll cradle you (ohh yeah)Make all of the lonely years to lonely days (lonely days)They'll hold you forever.Ohhhhhhhhhhh a thousand words
