There’s Got to Be More Songtext
von Mary Hopkin

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.
