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 to 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 silverwings



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 silverwings



And a thousand words

Call out through the ages

They'll cradle you

Turning all of the lonely years to only days

They'll hold you forever



Ooooooh, a thousand words..
