Sweet Morphine Lyrics - The Gaslight Anthem

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 

() 

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 

(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 

() 

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) 

() 

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
