The Further You Look - John Holt

Many a man has gone away

Many a man has gone astray

Searching for the treasures of a love that’s true

I’m a-hoping that my treasure, can be you

And I believe and I believe

The further you look, the lesser you see

I’m a-hoping you’d be the treasure for me

I’ve seen men carry their hopes from town to town

Trying to track lost treasures down

Some find true love before their hopes are gone

Other lose hope and they have to go on

And I believe and I believe

The further you look, the lesser you see

I’m a-hoping you’d be the treasure for me

Travel, travelling on

Wondering if they’ve done somehting wrong

Oh, wondering if I’m becoming a rover

But if you’d be mine, my searching is all over, Lord

The further you look, the lesser you see

I’m a-hoping you’d be the treasure for me

Travel, travelling on

Wondering if they’ve done somehting wrong

Oh, wondering if I’m becoming a rover

But if you’d be mine, my searching is all over, Lord

The further you look, the lesser you see

I’m a-hoping you’d be the treasure for me, for me.
