Nanci Griffith - Is This All There Is lyrics

rate me

(Nanci Griffith - Tom Littlefield)

I have traveled far to be sitting here with you

And I will leave this place alone

That's a sad and simple truth

There is so little time and so much to say

And I'll be none the wiser

When I leave you here today

Chorus

Is there all there is

I wanted so much more

The gold in those hills

The silver of the Moores

And now that I'm here

Looking you head on

The treasure that I left behind

Is all I'll ever miss

Is this all there is

It always stops me cold everytime I hear your name

The friends that we share

Know I'll never love the same

I still hear your voice echo through the days

Yet it never breaks my stride

Cuz we would always end this way

Chorus

We were really something

Holding hands and walkin'

Now, no amount of talkin'

Could lend this love a place to go
