Nanci Griffith - Is This All There Is? Lyrics

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 this all there is
I wanted so much more
The gold in those hills
The silver of the mores
And now that I'm here
Looking you head on
The treasure that I left behind
Is all I'll ever miss
The blame for losing love is blind
Is this all there is

It always stops me cold every time 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
Cause we would always end this way

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
We were really something
Holding hands and walking
Now, no amount of talking
Could lend this love a place to go

[Chorus]
