i know that you're 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'll 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, 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 cradle 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, yeah, "wait for me, i'll write you letters", i could see how you stammered 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, 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 silver wings, oh a thousand words, one 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 silver wings, and a thousand words call out through the ages, they'll cradle you, making all of the lonely, years to only days, they'll hold you forever, oh a thousand words
