I’ve Probably Been Here Before

 

In all the lifetime\'s I\'ve had 

and many more to come

I’ve been here before

I know you may think I\'m mad? 

I will take it as a great compliment

especially, once you have heard me out...

 

you see I\'ve been here before 

In a different life 

maybe I was a fish?

I\'ve always had a strange feeling around the ocean

maybe I was taken in a swirl of waves

into the belly of a magical whale?

maybe I was a magnificent Italian queen?

in the city of Naples, I surely feel at home

gazing up at Vesuvius 

on a summer\'s night from my terrace 

whilst tasting the southern wines in hand

and maybe once I was even an astronaut

who traveled to infinity?

I certainly have a passionate love for the moon 

I may have been a carpenter 

after all, I simply adore the finishes of a grand piece of wood

especially a piano

what if I was a great Jazz singer? 

I love to sing the blues? 

maybe I was a damsel in distress?  

on the horse of a true hero

under the Casentino forest? 

all those trees hovering over me 

haunt my dreams even when I walk under them today 

I could have been a French chef?

spreading my joy for butter 

on to authentic plates under the Eiffel tower 

I have such a passion for the croissant 

 

I often ponder on why I feel the way I do

in certain places? in certain moments?

some would even call it déjà vu

 

all I can do is smile 

 

because...

I know in my heart

I\'ve probably been here before.
