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

I'm crossing Brooklyn ferry

With the clouds to my west

And I know what I'm missing

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 climbed in my window

And you painted me 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, and I wish you well

And I wish you well

Well, well, well

Some days 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

Oh, 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
