sweeter than the rest

flood tide below me

with the sun in my eyes

and i reach for the feeling

that the world is my prize

and i'm crossing brooklyn ferry

with the clouds to my west

and i know why i missed it

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

than the rest

well you climb in my window

and you painted it gold

it was stone recognition

it was truth being told

and we burn down the winter

with the fire we possess

and i wish you could know this

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

than the rest

and i wish you well

and i wish you well

and i wish you well

oh i wish you well

oh i wish you well

and i wish you well. well well well

sometimes i wonder

if it's time to go home

but this dream i've been dreaming

will not leave me alone

i can go where i want to

and i'm doing my best

but i know what i'm losing

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

than the rest

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

than the rest

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

than the rest

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

some are sweet

but you were sweeter

than the rest
