The Visitors Songtext
von ABBA

I hear the doorbell ring and suddenly the panic takes me
The sound so ominously tearing through the silence
I cannot move, I′m standing
Numb and frozen
Among the things I love so dearly

The books, the paintings and the furniture
Help me

The signal's sounding once again and someone tries the door knob

None of my friends would be so stupidly impatient
And they don′t dare to come here
Anymore now
But how I loved our secret meetings
We talked and talked in quiet voices
Smiling


Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I'm
Crackin' up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I′m close to fainting
Crackin′ up

They must know by now, I'm in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin′ up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping, now I'm
Crackin′ up

These walls have witnessed all the anguish of humiliation

And seen the hope of freedom glow in shining faces
And now they've come to take me
Come to break me
And yet it isn′t unexpected

I have been waiting for these visitors
Help me

Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I'm
Crackin' up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I′m close to fainting
Crackin′ up


They must know by now, I'm in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin′ up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping, now I'm
Crackin′ up

Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I'm
Crackin′ up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Crackin' up

They must know by now, I′m in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin′ up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
There is no escaping, now I'm
Crackin′ up

Now I hear them moving, muffled noises
Coming through the door, I feel I'm
Crackin′ up
Voices growing louder, irritation building
And I'm close to fainting
Crackin′ up

They must know by now, I'm in here trembling
In a terror evergrowing
Crackin' up
My whole world is falling, going crazy
