Late this afternoon I heard your voice

It was the first time in what felt like years

It was a whisper in my ears and then the wind in the trees

It was the shaking of leaves that shook the streets while shaking me



Late this afternoon I heard your voice

I got hit for the first time in what felt like years

It struck me down a harmless jab at you while you rang loud and clear

You tore down the walls

Just as quickly you were gone



The New Haven expose

Must've heard me call us off

Must've heard my brief applause

Must've heard my disbelief



The New Haven expose

Confirmed they caught a killer

Well I caught a chill

When the newsprint said the gunman was nineteen



Late this afternoon I heard your voice

It was the first time in what felt like years
