The Book of Time

Intro Soft piano, distant strings, slow blues guitar

Verse 1

We walk ahead, we leave our traces in the dust

But time keeps turning, blurring all we trust

Only memories left, they circle round and round

Like a child's top spinning, never touching ground

Pre-Chorus

Where is it now, what was it then

I reach for it, it slips again

Do you remember, or did I just pretend

Chorus

So open the book, brush off the dust

Turn the pages, in memories we trust

Frozen but alive, a moment that still breathes

No words, no stories, just the life it leaves

We live it again, we turn the page

And time can't hold us in its cage

Verse 2

A giant book that hides its secrets deep

Moments like reflections of the years we keep

No poems, no novels, no writer's art

Just sketches for the ones who'll follow from the heart

Frozen, but alive, that moment without doubt

Life and wonder, the master's hand throughout

Chorus

So open the book, brush off the dust

Turn the pages, in memories we trust

Frozen but alive, a moment that still breathes

No words, no stories, just the life it leaves

We live it again, we turn the page

And time can't hold us in its cage

Bridge

Where is the artist, the maker, the creator

We see ourselves and we live it all again

We see the others, the loved ones, the places

Cities and rivers, the faces and the names

I touch you, I hear you, I feel your breath so warm

I feel the movement, I feel the heat of your soul

Bridge 2

Where is the sage who made this book so true

No lies, no fiction, only me and you

Lord, did you give this world this gift divine

A piece of my soul still shining in the lines

You look and you leave fragments of the days

We see through your eyes across the waves of time

But you're not there, not there to this day

Guitar Solo Long, crying blues solo, strings swell underneath

Final Chorus

So open the book, brush off the dust

Turn the pages, in memories we trust

Frozen but alive, a moment that still breathes

No words, no stories, just the life it leaves

We live it again, we turn the page

And time can't hold us in its cage

Outro

We look through your eyes

Across the years, across the time

But you're not there

Not there to this day
