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

I couldn't say those thousand words
I'll send them toward your far-away back
Turn them into wings

I couldn't say those thousand words
I draw close to your wounded back
And hold you

The dream continues as I think of you
Pretending to have forgotten about that day
How unfair

"I'll write"
Your voice, eyes averted
Being stubborn, pretending to be strong
Turn back time: should I have gotten angry?
Shrugged my shoulders with a "I can't wait"?
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
