The elevator was broken down, the stairwell rusted up...

I saw an airplane in the sky, it was stuck; couldn't fly!

Birds swarmed into an old haunted house
Walked into a still life painting, quiet as a church mouse...

Two-lane highway, telephone poles with no wires
Firetrucks alarming with no sound, no fires to be found...

An invisible wind blew my mind  
As she waited from across by the Sea...

I tried my best to find her; then she vanished far from reach...

Then, I knew it was the Calm Before the Storm...
