Nanci Griffith – Is This All There Is? lyrics

Griffith/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
Is this 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
To the treasure that I left behind
Is all I'll ever miss
Oh the blame for losing love is blind
Is this all there is
It always stops me cold everytime I hear your name
The friends that we have shared
Know I'll never love the same
I still hear your voice echo through my days
Yet it never breaks my stride
We would always end this way
Is this 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
To the treasure that I left behind
Is all I'll ever miss
Oh the blame for losing love is blind
Is this all there is
We were really something
Just holding hands and walkin
Now, no amount of talkin
Could lend this love a place to go
Is this all there is
I wanted so much more
The gold in those hills
The silver of the moores
Now that I'm here
Looking you head on
To the treasure that I left behind
Is all I'll ever miss
Oh the blame for losing love is blind
Is this all there is
