Empty-Handed Heart Lyrics

(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
