Lyrics The Further You Look (The Less You See) - John Holt

The Further You Look (The Less You See)

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.
