Lyrics
Sweet Morphine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
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
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
