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 strove
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
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 craddle 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
  They'll fly to you
  They'll carry you home, ( carry you home)
and back into my arms
  Suspended on silver wings (on silver wings!)   And a thousand words
  Call out through the ages (call through the ages!)
  They'll craddle you
  Making all of your lonely years seem only days (only days)
  They'll hold you forever.
