Is This All There Is

(Nanci Griffith and 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 that 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

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 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 lead this love a place to go
