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

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
