Empty-handed Heart

(Warren Zevon)
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
But time does not stand still
It's rolling like a rock slide down a hill
I've met someone I care for
I know she cares for me
Will I fall in love again?
It's a possibility
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 only find one special one
Then I've thrown down diamonds
In the sand
Then I've thrown down diamonds
In the sand
Then I've thrown down diamonds
In the sand
Then I've thrown down diamonds
In the sand
(Remember when we used to watch the sun set in the sea
You said you'd always be in love with me
All through the night we danced and sang
Made love in the mornings while the church bells rang)
Leave the fire behind you and start
I'll be playing it by ear
Left here with an empty-handed heart
