Story Behind the Song
Déjà Vu
Things move so fast
I can't hear the words any more:
they speak in a whisper,
the ancestors do -
their words lost in the wind
as it rushes past.
I never know the names
of the places we pass through,
or the people I see
dead on the road side,
the contents of their shopping-bags
strewn across the grass.
Nobody tells me -
perhaps nobody knows.
My fellow passengers
seem distracted,
talking into microphones
to invisible people.
Whatever it was happened
no-one expected it -
and I can no more understand it all
than I can
the fluttering pages
of an open book I saw
dropped by an old man,
dead, half in half out
a toppled, folding chair.
He, like the others,
cruises off the screen,
into the past I cant make sense of.
All I can do
is tell you what happened:
you'll listen, I'm sure.
But then perhaps
there's nothing we can do
and its just the way things are,
and one day
we'll meet ourselves
hurrying past
to places we left long ago
to rediscover words
for things that scare us.
