MARC COHN - BITS AND PIECES Lyrics

Sleepless nights and senseless fightsMany that I've knownAre proportional to the desperate hoursSpent on the telephoneNow I'm sitting here trying to get through to GodScreaming in a microphoneSinging, watch out for me cause it's plain to seeI can't make it on my ownWhen all I got are them[CHORUS]Bits and piecesOf my sorrow and regretA memorial for loversAnd a covenance they respectAnd though here on this young man's faceA tear trace you detectWell it's only for the bits and piecesThat I can recollect[BRIDGE]I had to let you knowSo you'll try to understandIt wasn't a scheme it was a foolish dreamThat didn't work out like I plannedJust didn't work out like I plannedHey tell me that you understand, yeahSo give me back my musicAnd those off-stage whispered cuesCause I got me a ten song repitoireHey it includes a sad song tooSo when you see me serenading the darknessYou'll know exactly who I'm singing toAnd those tears are only for the yearsI may just spend with youBut all I'm left with isBits and pieces...
