The Shaking of Leaves

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
