It Came From A High Place

lyrics

i was hearing voices from a high place
rattling down in a cacophonous boom
maybe from the third or fourth floor
of the apartment next door
from an open window on a warm summer afternoon

i couldn't make out a single word
of a rapid discussion
or translate the tones into some kind of human emotion
was someone talking on the telephone
did someone leave a television on
was i hearing a single voice
or voices dancing in a crowded room

i imagine all of the faces i've ever seen that pleased me
saying all the thing i've ever wanted to hear

is this message echoing out for me
or am i intruding on an intensely personal moment
i suppose that's what we're all wanting to do
i was hearing voices from a high place

(repeat)
