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 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've 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

Oh a thousand words
have never been spoken
Will fly to you
Crossing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings!
And a thousand words one thousand confessions
Will cradle you making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever!

(instrumental break)
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 to write you letters
I can 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've been the answer
What if I'd hold my head and said that I couldn't wait?
But now I'm strong enough to know
It's not too late

Cause a thousand words call out through the ages
Will 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 cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem
