Mary Hopkin — Theres Got to Be More

There's no need to act sorrow and anger Is it really that hard to believe? When you tried to tell me what you're feeling It's only yourself you deceive No, I never told you I was staying No, I never told you I would stay There's just got to be more to my living Than dreaming of our yesterday You laughed when we met in the autumn I cried when the winter was cold And the spring touched your heart with its growing But the summer was too hard to hold Now the autumn leaves fall with the evening And you tried to try to hang on to the sun It's hiding behind rain and thunder And it's time I was moving and gone Yes, it's time I was on my way There is nothing more I can say In a month maybe less You'll be laughing again 'Til she says she must move on her way 'Til she says she must move on her way You are open and as soft as a flower But changing and deep as the sea It's so easy for me to surrender So hard to strike out and be free Like a spider you weave webs of wonder That float in the air around my head To snare me and bury me under 'Til all of my longings are dead Yes, it's time I was on my way There is nothing more I can say In a month maybe less You'll be laughing again 'Til she says she must move on her way 'Til she says she must move on her way There's no need to act sorrow and anger Is it really that hard to believe? When you tried to tell me what you're feeling It's only yourself you deceive No, I never told you I was staying No, I never told you I would stay There's just got to be more to my living Than dreaming of our yesterday
