Lyrics

A THOUSAND WORDS
(Rewrite Nomi Yah & Denis Loiseau)

A Thousand Words, a million grains of sand
A Thousand Words won't make me understand
Won’t make me understand

I travel roads I’ve never known
Although they’re long and strange
Something is driving from inside me
That I can’t explain
A Thousand Words a million grains of sand
A Thousand Words won't make me understand

Wind in the trees, leaves whispering to me
Their language as good any
I talk to myself, but it doesn’t help
My thoughts are far too many
A Thousand Words a million grains of sand
A Thousand Words won't make me understand

A worn family photograph
Is speaking a thousand words
But none to me
A Thousand Words a million grains of sand
A Thousand Words won't make me understand
