i know that you're hiding thinds

using gentle words to shelter me

you're words we're like a dream

but dreams can never fool me

not that easily



i acted so distant then

did'nt say goodbye before you left

but i was listening

you fought your battles far from me

far too easily



"save your tears coz i'll come back"

i can 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 part

but now i'm not afraid to tell what's in my heart



one thousand words calling 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



(instrumental)



oh a thousand words (a thousand words)

have never been spoken (oh yeah)

they'll fly to you

they'll carry you home,(carry you home) and into my arms

suspended on silver wings (on silver wings)

and a thousand words (oh)

call out through the ages (call through the ages)

they'll cradle you (oh yeah)

make all the lonely years to lonely days (lonely days)

they'll hold you forever



oh... a thousand words...
