You are raking something in your garden, sir
You look up
It might rain
Maybe it will stay dry
Or could the wind blow anyway
You put on a jacket
Enjoy the silence
You look through the windows
You lower your shutters
Is it time for the news yet
Watch the weather
You are well insured
But you don't know what is coming
This is just the silence
The calm before the storm
You throw some logs on your fire
You lock your door
And you have a nice drink
But where is the pleasure
You think about too many things
And you don't know why
Is that because of the drinks
Or because of the calm before the storm
And it's getting too stuffy for you
You undo a button
You can already feel the downpour hanging in the air
Why doesn't it burst out
And your headphones are playing tunes
Don't worry about it
But nothing drives away the silence
The calm before the storm
The silence before the silence
Before the silence
Before the storm
But the storm passes over
And you change your shirt
You can see the blue sky again
You are a whole guy
And you hear the news blaring again
You go around the block
You hear birds in the silence
The silence before the storm
The silence before the silence
For the silence
Before the storm
The silence for the silence
For the silence
Before the storm
