The Divorcees - Handful of Nothing

Spillin' from the bottom of a bottle
I've paved a path with heartache and tears
I lived today like there was no tomorrow
Now all I'm left are all these wasted years
This old dive has left me slowly drowning
And I've gone blind beneath that neon glow
I've made so many mistakes that I've lost counting
And with every passing day, that number grows
Time tells lies to the dreamin’ man
Pushing ‘til his back’s against the wall
Nothing but time and a handful of dreams
Is a handful of nothing at all
Now, my house is empty, cold and lonely
Memories are all that's left behind
The ghosts at this old haunt are for me only
And they'll be haunting me 'til closing time
Once I had the promise of redemption
In the heart of every word and every note
But the ways that I'd gone wrong
Lay bitter in my songs
And it wasn't long before that’s all she wrote
Time tells lies to the dreamin’ man
Pushing ‘til his back’s against the wall
Nothing but time and a handful of dreams
Is a handful of nothing at all
"There’ll always be a next time" So I’d say
A future that was never realized
And while I sat I stood in my own way
The vision disappeared before my eyes
Time tells lies to the dreamin’ man
Pushing ‘til his back’s against the wall
Nothing but time and a handful of dreams
Is a handful of nothing at all
Time tells lies to the dreamin’ man
Pushing ‘til his back’s against the wall
Nothing but time and a handful of dreams
Is a handful of nothing at all
Is a handful of nothing at all
Is a handful of nothing at all
