Empty-handed Heart Lyrics - Singles - Zevon Warren

(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
