Warren Zevon — Empty-Handed Heart

[Verse 1] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] (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 [Outro] Leave the fire behind you and start I'll be playing it by ear, left here with an empty-handed heart
