I've Lived Here Before

I've lived here before in days of old

I recognise these buildings in my soul

I know each winding road

And every rise

Is friendly and familiar to my eyes

I've lived here before I do believe

I have rejoiced in these fields and I've grieved

I can feel it in my blood

That I belong

To this strange and stony rock I stand upon

Yet I cannot put a name upon it

I cannot place the time

Nor see the land as it once was

Nor tell which house was mine

No I cannot put a name upon it

Which was where and when

Yet here I am

A perfect stranger

Home again

There's confusion in my head as I depart

But a singing, ringing, soaring in my heart

For beyond all time and space and doubt

I know

I've lived here before

Long ago
