5.18.26 – long distance

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 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
and 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 part?

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're reaching you
suspended on silver wings

oh, a thousand words
a 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
turning all of the lonely years to only days
they'll hold you forever
oh, a thousand words
