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.
