seekers - 500 miles

If you miss the train I'm on, you will know that I am gone,
You will hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.

A hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles, a hundred miles,
You will hear the whistle blow, a hundred miles.

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.

Away from home (x4)
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.

Not a shirt on my back, not a penny to my name,
Lord I can't go back home this-a-way.

This-a-way (x4)
Lord I can't go back home this-a-way.

Lord I'm one, Lord I'm two, Lord I'm three, Lord I'm four,
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.

Away from home (x4)
Lord I'm five hundred miles away from home.

seekers - a world of our own

Close the doors, light the lights.
We're stayin' home tonight,
far away from the bustle and the bright city lights.
Let them all fade away.
Just leave us alone.
And we'll live in a world of our own.

We'll build a world of our own
that no one else can share.
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there.
And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own.

Oh my love, oh my love,
I cried for you so much.
Lonely nights without sleeping while I longed for your touch.
Now your lips can erase
the heartache I've known.
Come with me to a world of our own.

We'll build a world of our own
that no one else can share.
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there.
And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own.

(musical interlude)

We'll build a world of our own
that no one else can share.
All our sorrows we'll leave far behind us there.
And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own.

And I know you will find
there'll be peace of mind
when we live in a world of our own!

seekers - all my trials

Hush little baby, don't you cry,
You know your mama was born to die
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

I've got a little book with pages three,
And every page spells liberty.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

There grows a tree in paradise,
And the pilgrims call it the Tree of Life.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

River jordan is muddy and cold,
Well it chills the body but not the soul.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

If livin' was a thing that money could buy,
Then the rich would live and the poor would die.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

Too late, my brothers,
Too late, but never mind,
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

seekers - all over the world

All over the world, people must meet and part,
There's someone like me feeling the pain in their heart.
Some may meet agin, under that same white star,
If maybe some night you come back from afar,
Who cares if tonight I don't know where you are?

Are you thinking of me now,
Missing having me around?
If you have forgotten me,
My world will come tumbling down.

All over the world, others are sad tonight,
There's someone like me watching the sun's fading light.
All over the sky there is the same warm glow,
Here under that star I'm wanting you to know,
Wherever you are, that I still love you so.

seekers - come the day

I know that one day soon a song shall rise;
You'll hear it with the sleep still in your eyes,
You'll waken to a brand new day,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?

A time when every man will be as one,
A time to reach right out and touch the sun,
Come the day.
Freedom's still a thought within your mind,
The fleeting thing that some may never find,
It may be still a million miles away,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?

A time to live without doubt or fear,
Welcome to the happy world that will be here
Come the day.
The trumpets of war will cease to blow
The sound I hope that we may never know
We're waiting for the day,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?

Lift up your voices and sing this song,
Let the whole world hear it loud and strong,
Can you hear bells ringin',
Voices singin',
Far away?

seekers - devoted to you

Darling, you can count on me
Till the sun dries up the sea.
Until then I'll always be
Devoted to you

I'll be yours through endless time,
I'll adore your charm sublime.
Guess by now you'll know that I'm
Devoted to you.

I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie,
I'll never be untrue,
I'll never give you reason to cry,
I'd be unhappy if you were blue.

Through the years my love will grow,
Like a river it will flow.
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you.

I'll never hurt you, I'll never lie,
I'll never be untrue,
I'll never give you reason to cry,
I'd be unhappy if you were blue.

Through the years my love will grow,
Like a river it will flow.
It can't die because I'm so
Devoted to you,
Devoted to you.

seekers - don 039 t tell me my mind

I'll ramble far and wide
But who knows where I'll be,
Walking down some rocky road,
Or sailing 'cross the sea?
I have no true love,
No girl to leave behind.
It's my life and I like it,
Don't tell me my mind.

Chorus:

Don't tell me my mind,
Don't tell me that I'm wrong.
Let this song be remembered
When I'm dead and gone.
Don't tell me my mind,
Don't tell me that I'm wrong.
Let this song be remembered when I'm gone.

I'll go and see this world of ours
And all its people too,
From China to America
Across the oceans blue.
I'll sing about my travels,
Good times I'll surely find.
It's my life and I like it,
Don't tell me my mind.

Chorus

You say I'm kind of foot-loose,
I'll never settle down.
But I don't want to hang around
In this old one horse town.
I've got so many things to do
And oh, so little time.
It's my life and I like it,
Don't tell me my mind.

Chorus

seekers - emerald city

Take me to the Emerald City,
Down yellow brick roads fast I run.
Scarecrow friends will dance beside me,
Tin toy brothers bright as sun.

Chorus:
Take me to the Emerald City,
Wizards will give us lemonade.
It's a land of pleasures pretty,
Ruby roses never fade.

Children gather fragile flowers,
Stars will sing a lullaby,
You're an angel, fly forever,
Living life behind the sky.

Chorus

Rain it falls like tinsel teardrops,
Rivers flow through jungles tall,
Witches watch through magic mirrors,
Frost and fog covers crystal balls.

Chorus

It's a land of pleasures pretty,
Ruby roses never fade.

seekers - georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girl
Swingin' down the street so fancy-free
Nobody you meet could ever see
The loneliness there inside you
Hey there, Georgy girl
Why do all the boys just pass you by?
Could it be you just don't try
Or is it the clothes you wear?

You're always window shopping
But never stopping to buy
So shed those dowdy feathers
And fly a little bit
Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,
Oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

Hey there, Georgy girl
Dreamin'; of the someone you could be
Life is a reality, you can't always run away
Don't be so scared of changing
And rearranging yourself
It's time for jumping down
From the shelf a little bit

Hey there, Georgy girl
There's another Georgy deep inside
Bring out all the love you hide and,
Oh, what a change there'd be
The world would see a new Georgy girl

seekers - gotta travel on

Chorus:
I done laid around and played around this old town too long.
Summer's almost gone; yes, winter's coming on.
Well, I've laid around and played around this old town too long,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way;
I'll be on my way; yes, I'm goin' alone some day.
Chilly winds will soon begin, and I'll be on my way,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
(Chorus)
I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad;
Wanna see her bad, wanna see her bad.
Well, I wanna see my honey, I wanna see her bad;
She's the best gal this poor boy ever had.
(Chorus)
There's a lonesome freight at 6:08, comin' through the town;
Comin' through the town; yes, I'll be homeward bound.
There's a lonesome freight at 6:08, comin' through the town,
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.
(Chorus)
And I feel like I've gotta travel on.

seekers - i 039 ll never find another you

There's a new world somewhere
they call the promised land.
And I'll be there someday
if you could hold my hand.
I still need you there beside me
no matter what I do
for I know I'll never find another you.

There is always someone
for each of us, they say.
And you'll be my someone
forever and a day.
I could search the whole world over
until my life is through
but I know I'll never find another you.

It's a long, long journey
so stay by my side.
When I walk through the storm
you'll be my guide, be my guide.
If they gave me a fortune
my virtue would be small.
I could lose it all tomorrow
and never mind at all.
But if I should lose your love, dear,
I don't know what I'd do
for I know I'll never find another you.

But if I should lose your love, dear,
I don't know what I'd do.
For I know I'll never find another you.
Another you.
Another you!

seekers - katy kline

Well now who does not know Katy Kline?
She lives at the foot of the hill,
By the shady nook of some old babbling brook,
And down by her dear old babby's mill.

Chorus:
Tell me that you love me, Katy Kline,
Tell me that your hearth is true as mine,
Tell me that you love your only turtle dove,
Tell me that you love me, Katy Kline.

Well I'm going down the road feeling bad,
Well you know I've got troubles on my mind.
I'm going down the road to see the one I love,
She goes by the name of Katy Kline.

Chorus

If and I was a little bird,
I'd never build my nest on the ground,
Well I'd build it up in some tall yonder tree
Where them wild boys couldn't tear it down.

seekers - lady mary

He came from his palace grand;
He came to my cottage door;
His words were few, but his look
Will linger for evermore,
The look in his sad, dark eyes,
More tender than words could be.
But I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
There in her garden she stands,
All dressed in fine satin and lace,
Lady Mary, so cold and so strange;
In his heart she could find no place.
He knew I would be his bride,
With a kiss for a lifetime fee.
But I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
Now in his palace grand,
On a flower-strewn bed he lies.
His beautiful lids are closed
On his sad, dark, beautiful eyes.
And among the mourners who mourn,
Why should I a mourner be?
For I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
For I was nothing to him,
And he was the world to me.
