I know that your 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 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 [Chorus] Though 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 cradel 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 could see how you stand 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'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late... [Chorus 2] 'Cause A Thousand Words Call out through the ages They'll fly to you Even though we can't see I know they're reaching you, Suspended on silver wings Oh, A Thousand Words One Thousand embraces will cradel 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 (Ohh) And A Thousand Words Call out through the ages They'll cradel you Turning all of your lonely years to only days They'll hold you forever!
