Lyrics
The Calm Before the Storm
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
A butterfly in the sitting room
Sudden sneezing overhead
Dragonflies skim the swimming pool
The dog is barking to be fed
And it won't be long
'til we get the news
Though I'll soon be gone
I'll be the sucker who's
always had the most to lose
when we get this news
Pheasants scatter, rabbits flee
a car departing in the rain
On the flight path a 747
Round the bend a rocky lane
And it won't be long
'til we get the news
Though I could be wrong
I bet I'm the one who's left
with the tears and the telephoned threat
who'll always be the most in debt
when we get the news
Baby, baby, did I ever tell you
that I worked out where I went wrong?
