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 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 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
Will 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
Though a thousand words have never been spoken
Will fly to you they'll carry you home
And back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings, oh
And a thousand words called out through the ages
Will cradle you turning all of your
lonely years to only days
They'll hold you forever
