Warren Zevon - Empty-Handed Heart lyrics

All these empty places, I try so hard to fill
Will I find another love? I
Pray to God I will
Girl, we had some good times
Time does not stand still
It's rolling like a rock slide, down the hill

I've met someone I care for
I know she cares for me
Will I fall in love again? It's a possibility
But, girl, we had some good times
That time cannot undo
No one will ever take the place of you

Heart jinxed condition, never sure how I feel
Trying to separate the real thing
From the wishful thinking
Sometimes I wonder if I'll
Make it without you
I'm determined to, I'll make my stand
And if after all is said and done
You'll only find one special one

(Remember when we used to watch the
Sun set in the sea)
Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand
(You said you'd always be in love with me)
Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand
(All through the night we danced and sang)
Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand
(Made love in the mornings while
The church bells rang)
Then I've thrown down diamonds in the sand

Leave the fire behind you and start
I'll be playing it by ear
Left here with an empty handed heart
