    Story Behind the Song
    One of the first songs i ever wrote, way back in 1979. I was on the road hitching and traveling with a paralyzed friend who was seeking healing for his legs...we went to healing fairs and gatherings all over the Northwest...we were "Pilgrims" searching fro answers.....still are....

    Lyrics
    Pilgrim © Allan Byer 7/79

    Verse Progression: (C breakdown to Am to F to C to FCGC turnaround)
    Chorus Progression: (F C F C G to C breakdown to Am to F to C to FCGC turnaround)
    Intro - play verse progression twice, harp break second time thru
    ?mini harp break between each chorus and verse?
    Verse 1 Just another Pilgrim searching for the road.
    Just another story to be told.
    Just another life searching for the why.
    Just another reason to try.

    Chorus 1 Didn’t you miss me late in the night?
    Didn’t you want to be holding me tight?
    Don’t you want me with you every night?
    You must know I want you.

    Verse 2 I’ve seen the light in your eyes come shining.
    I’ve seen the light flashing by.
    I’ve seen it in my dreams, and you’re gonna find me.
    When you do I’ll know you.

    Chorus 2 Didn’t you miss me when you were oh so alone?
    Didn’t you sometimes want to call me on the phone?
    But I didn’t have one; I just lived out all alone.
    Tell me why do I cry?

    Verse 3 As you sort through the stories you’ve been told
    Are you still searching for gold?
    Didn’t they tell you what you would find.
    Love ends up on your mind.

    Chorus 3 Don’t you know me? I’m not the same.
    Don’t you want me? This ain’t no children’s game.
    I’m still outside, standing in the rain.
    Tell me why do I cry?
    *Guitar break thru verse and chorus

    Verse 4 Just another Pilgrim searching for the road.
    Just another story to be told.
    Just another love song trying to get through.
    Just another wish song for you.

    Chorus 4 Don’t you know me? I’m still the same.
    Don’t you want me? This ain’t no children’s game.
    I’m still outside, standing in the rain.
    Pull me in; give me a sign.
