empty-handed heart
written by Warren Zevon 1980 Zevon Music BMI 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 rockslide 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 Descant: 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 morning 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.
