(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
|
