Testo:
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
And 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 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 called out through the ages
They'll 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 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, ooh
And a thousand words called out through the ages
They'll cradle you, turning all of the loving into only days
They'll hold you forever
Oh, a thousand words
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
And 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 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 called out through the ages
They'll 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 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, ooh
And a thousand words called out through the ages
They'll cradle you, turning all of the loving into only days
They'll hold you forever
Oh, a thousand words
