The Gaslight Anthem – Sweet Morphine lyrics

[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
