The Gaslight Anthem - Sweet Morphine lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Oh, my darling, you are the restless sea

With your black heart raging over me

As the blue skies see the same troubles as we

To be true, I love the restless sea

There are three things that never satisfy

Your brain, your heart, and mine

But I will hold you in my arms with a rest and sorrow ?

Underneath, bound in me tonight

(Chorus)

By now you must have found better than me

I'm sure Jupiter and opiates have charmed you off your feet

By now, I'm sure you've gotten over me

While you're kissing crowns of gods

I'll be crawling on my knees

Sweet morphine, sweet morphine

(Verse 2)

And yes I've come to know, you are the endless night

High above my love and my constellation light

Waving your fingertips asleep

Over the dark of the place over me

Endless night, I know you were over me

(Chorus)

By now you must have found better than me

I'm sure Jupiter and opiates have charmed you off your feet

By now, I'm sure you've gotten over me

While you're kissing crowns of gods

I'll be crawling on my knees

Sweet morphine, sweet morphine

(Interlude)

(Chorus)

By now you must have found better than me

I'm sure Jupiter and opiates have charmed you off your feet

By now, I'm sure you've gotten over me

While you're kissing crowns of gods

I'll be crawling on my knees

Sweet morphine, sweet morphine
