Testo Bits & Pieces Marc Cohn
Sleepless nights and senseless fights
Many that Iâve known
Are proportional to the desperate hours
Spent on the telephone
Now Iâm sitting here trying to get through to god
Screaming in a microphone
Singing, watch out for me cause itâs plain to see
I canât 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 manâs face
A tear trace you detect
Well itâs only for the bits and pieces
That I can recollect
[bridge]
I had to let you know
So youâll try to understand
It wasnât a scheme it was a foolish dream
That didnât work out like I planned
Just didnât 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
Youâll know exactly who Iâm singing to
And those tears are only for the years
I may just spend with you
But all Iâm left with is
Bits and pieces...
