Bits And Pieces Lyrics - Singles - Marc Cohn

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...
