DÉJÀ VU

Travelling life's long avenue

Why do I feel so sure,

With the strange sense of déjà vu,

I've passed this way before?

I stood on an old battle ground

And heard the cannons blast,

While the din of battle echoed round,

A fragment of the past.

I saw a castle girdled round

With ancient walls of stone,

And there within those walls I found

Familiar things I'd known.

I wandered through a village where,

Untouched by passing time,

I saw a cottage there

That once I felt was mine.

In ancient abbey cloisters

Among the ruins there,

I heard the chanting voices

Of Holy Men at prayer.

I heard a pretty melody

Played on an old spinet

That touched a chord of memory

I never could forget.

And with this sense of déjà vu

That haunts me now and then.

I wonder, when this life is through

Will I pass this way again?
