Anja Garbarek Beyond My Control Lyrics

Beyond My Control Lyrics

It happens that someone knocks at my door
And 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
Then my heart 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

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 made
my heart 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 seem to
disappear
Becoming one with a wall
Becoming one with a lamp
post
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 your calls
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 made my
heart shake
It was you that made my heart jump

It was you that came
my way
