Marc Cohn - Bits And Pieces Lyrics
Sleepless nights and senseless fights Many that I've known Are proportional to the desperate hours Spent on the telephone Now I'm sitting here trying to get through to God Screaming in a microphone Singing, watch out for me cause it's plain to see I can't make it on my own When all I got are them [CHORUS] Bits and pieces Of my sorrow and regret A memorial for lovers And a covenance they respect And though here on this young man's face A tear trace you detect Well it's only for the bits and pieces That I can recollect [BRIDGE] I had to let you know So you'll try to understand It wasn't a scheme it was a foolish dream That didn't work out like I planned Just didn't work out like I planned Hey tell me that you understand, yeah So give me back my music And those off-stage whispered cues Cause I got me a ten song repitoire Hey it includes a sad song too So when you see me serenading the darkness You'll know exactly who I'm singing to And those tears are only for the years I may just spend with you But all I'm left with is Bits and pieces...
