DEJA VU OR MAYBE REGRESSION






DÉJÀ VU OR MAYBE REGRESSION





One day I was walking along the street
And a strange sight my eyes did meet,
I saw a shop on the other side
But a strange feeling I felt inside.





I remember looking at this shop before
But I remember I was in a pram for sure,
I was on the step of the house opposite
I remember it clearly I`m sure of it.





My Mum said she didn`t know who lived there
So I couldn`t have been there in my push-chair,
Yet I could see the shop from the level of the pram
Asked if I believe it happened then yes I am.





I say I have been to a place then told I am wrong
Yet the feeling I get is so very strong,
I just can`t recall what it was I did there
Frustration sets in and fills me with despair.





It`s as though I see it from long ago
Maybe I once lived there who is to know,
The streets I feel that I know them so well
And this is a feeling that I can`t dispel.





A glimpse of regression or just déjà vu
Tell me does this ring a bell with you?
I`m sure you may have felt the same thing
And puzzling thoughts it surely must bring.
