Golden Earring Time Is A Book Lyrics

Time Is A Book Lyrics

If I could go back a hundred years or more 

Back to the ages I adore 

I put myself on a sailing boat 

Sailing the seas, carrying my load 

Put into ports of every new found land 

The crew drops the anchor on my
command 

down the boats, and we go ashore 

But too bad, I know this
can't happen anymore 



Time is a book, a book of glory 

and in
a book of stories 

you can't turn the page back anymore 



If I
could go back a hundred years or more 

Back to the ages I adore 

I'd
become an inventor to discover new things 

I'd find out flying with my own
wings 

I'd find out light and the electric train 

and I'd find out
how to make it rain 

Yes, I should find out all those things 

Although sometimes I was wrong 

But I'd never find out a gun or a bomb
