Zevon Warren - Empty-handed Heart lyrics

rate me

(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 ilke 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 seperate the real thing

From the wishful thinking

Sometimes I wonder

If I'll make it without out

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 churchbells rang)

Leave the fire behind you and start

I'll be playing it by ear

Left here with an empty-handed heart
