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
