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...
