Jade Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i know that you're hiding thinds
using gentle words to shelter me
you're words we're like a dream
but dreams can never fool me
not that easily

i acted so distant then
did'nt say goodbye before you left
but i was listening
you fought your battles far from me
far too easily

"save your tears coz 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 part
but now i'm not afraid to tell what's in my heart

one thousand words calling 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

(instrumental)

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 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)
make all the lonely years to lonely days (lonely days)
they'll hold you forever





oh... a thousand words...

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 the fight
Your battles far from me
Far too easily

Save your tears cause I will come back
I could 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'd cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart?
But now I'm not afraid to say
What's in my heart

Though a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
Passing over the time and distance holding you
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
One thousand confessions
Will cradle you
Making all of the pain you feel seem far away
They'll hold you forever

The dream isn't over yet
Though I often say I can't forget
I still relive that day
You've been there with me all the way
I still hear you say

Wait for me I'll write you letters
I could see how you stand with your eyes to the floor
But still I swore to hide the doubt
When I turn back the pages
Anger might have been the answer
What if I'd hung my head and said that I couldn't wait?
But now I'm strong enough to know it's not too late

Cause a thousand words
Called 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

And a thousand words
One 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 and back into my arms (carry you home)
Suspended on silver wings (on silver wings)

And a thousand words (Oh)
Called out through the ages (Call through the ages)
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years to only days (only days)
They'll hold you forever

Oh, a thousand words

This game and this song are both timeless. I love them both so much. Amazing song and amazing game. I played this game when I was a kid and then again today in 2021. Absolutely fantastic. Brings a tear to my eye every time.

This song is one of those that brought back memories of my playing ff games for my mom, when she still lived...This was my second favorite lyriced FF song, my fave is My hands by Leona Lewis, FFXIII endgame theme. The Lyriced pieces started with Final Fantasy VII and went through to XV, I believe.... XII had choral and other, X had 2 vocal pieces....Otherworld (My preference is Otherworld by Black Mages ft Nobuo Uematsu.) and the love theme, Suteki Da Ne, by Rikki.
