Beyond My Control - Anja Garbarek

It happens that someone knocks at my door

Then the whole house starts to shake

So that it gets really hard to stand up

And even worse to walk

I usually fall down

On the floor

And i stay there

Until that someone decides to leave

And the house calms down

And i look through the curtains

To see if he would regret

To see if he would try again

It happens that someone calls me on the phone

And my house gets so scared

That it jumps right up into my throat

I swallow like crazy

Hoping my heart will glide

Back down

So i can talk to that someone

Maybe talk to a friend

But it is too late

But it is too late

It is beyond my control

If i don’t open up the door

It is beyond my control

If i don’t answer your calls

I’m not to blame

It isn’t my fault

It was you that make my house shake

It was you that made my heart jump

It was you that make my house shake

It was you that made my heart jump

And it happens that i take a walk outside

Just to get some nice fresh air

And it happens that i see someone i knew

A long long time ago

Then i just see him to disappear

Becoming one with a wall

Becoming one with a lampost

Becoming one with a tree

Becoming one with a street

Becoming one with a house

Becoming one with a door

Becoming one with you all

It is beyond my control

If i don’t open up the door

It is beyond my control

If i don’t answer you call

It is beyond my control

If i just seem to disappear

It is beyond my control

If i am suddenly not here

I’m not to blame

It isn’t my fault

It was you that make my house shake

It was you that made my heart jump

It was you that make my house shake

It was you that made my heart jump

It was you who came my way
