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
