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 part
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 are 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

Oh a thousand words (a thousand words)
Have never been spoken (ohh 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 (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...
