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 (A thousand words) Have never been spoken (Oh, yeah) 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 (Oh) Call out through the ages (Call through the ages) They'll cradle you (Oh, yeah) Turning all of the lonely years to only days (Only days) They'll hold you forever
Kimi no kotoba wa Yume no yasashisa ka na? Uso o zenbu ooikakushiteru Zurui yo ne
Tabi tatsu kimi ni Tsumetai senaka misete Kiite ita yo—hitori tatakau no? Zurui yo ne
"Kaette kuru kara" Oikoshite yuku kimi no koe Ijihatte, tsuyoi furi Toki o modoshite: sakeba yokatta? Ikanaide to namida koboshitara? Ima wa dekiru, donna koto mo
Kikoeteru, sen no kotoba o? Mienai kimi no senaka ni okuru yo Tsubasa ni kaete
Kiko eteru, sen no kotoba o? Tsukareta kimi no senaka ni yorisoi Dakishimeru
Ienakatta, sen no kotoba o La la la la... Kimi no senaka ni okuru yo Tsubasa ni kaete
Kikoeteru, sen no kotoba o? La la la la... Kimi no senaka ni yorisoi La la la la la....
============================
Translation (It's not the eng. version of the song. Just translation of the Japaneses words):
Your words— The kindness of a dream? Covering up all the lies How unfair
You're leaving on your journey Coldly you turn your back on me I heard—you're fighting alone? How unfair
"I'll be back" Your voice, passing me by Being stubborn, pretending to be strong Turn back time: should I have screamed? Let loose the tears with a "Don't go"? Now I can do anything
Can you hear them, those thousand words? I'll send them toward your unseen back Turn them into wings
Can you hear them, those thousand words? I draw close to your exhausted back And hold you
I couldn't say those thousand words La la la la... I'll send them toward your back Turn them into wings
Can you hear them, those thousand words? La la la la... I draw close to your back
