Artist: marc cohn
Song: bits and pieces
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...
