Gone for Good
Morphine Lyrics
(Sandman)
I'm never going back never going back to you
I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to dig out your picture
I'm never going to look you up someday
Life is very short
You don't love me anymore
So I'm never going to see you again
I'm never going to write you a letter
Never going to call you on the phone
I'm never going to catch you coming outside
Never going to walk up your walk
And ring your bell
And feel you fall into my arms
I'm never going to see you (x2)
I'm never going to see you again
Your gone for good

Morphine was formed in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States in 1990 by Mark Sandman (vocals, bass) and Dana Colley (saxophone). Jerome Dupree became the group's drummer in 1991 prior to the release of their debut album, Good. "Low Rock" is Morphine's unique combination of jazz, blues and pop/rock, sung with darkly comic and ironic lyrics. Their guitarless sound relied on an unusual combination of baritone/tenor sax, percussion and a two string slide bass.

"Low Rock" is Morphine's unique combination of jazz, blues and pop/rock, sung with darkly comic and ironic lyrics. Their guitarless sound relied on an unusual combination of baritone/tenor sax, percussion and a two string slide bass.
While "Good" earned the band critical notoriety and substantial underground cred, they did not -- with this release or any subsequent -- break into the mainstream. After the release of Good, the band replaced Dupree with Billy Conway, a former bandmate of Sandman. Morphine's 1992 release of Cure for Pain, promoted by heavy touring, received some mainstream positive attention, selling over 300,000 copies worldwide and spawning a chart hit in many countries with the single Buena
Subsequent releases include Yes and Like Swimming.
On July 3, 1999, Mark Sandman collapsed on stage in Palestrina, Italy, a suburb of Rome. He was pronounced dead of a heart attack at the scene. He was 46. Morphine released The Night -- arguably their best effort -- posthumously in 2000.
After Sandman's death, the remaining band members reformed and continued to record as Twinemen and later as The Ever Expanding Elastic Waste Band
In 2004, the Mark Sandman box set Sandbox was released by Hi-n-Dry, Mark Sandman's own label. It contains two CDs and a DVD of previously unreleased material spanning Sandman’s musical career. The DVD features clips from early Sandman shows, interviews from the Morphine tours, and various videos from other Sandman solo and group projects, such as Treat Her Right.

Easily one of the saddest songs ever written. And so simple. This and and In Spite of Me are so heartbreaking. Mark and Morphine were easily one the best and most overlooked bands. Love them.
Sarah Lynn
Honey White was played on MTV got me hooked and there’s not a bad song on the entire album

1994, St. Louis. I took my younger brother to his first live show. Morphine b/w 16 horsepower. It inspired him to become a musician
Mary Rawson
Such a simple song, but breathtakingly powerful.
Biel Torrens Grau
Posiblemente, la canción más triste que he escuchado nunca. (Probably, the saddest song I've ever heard. Great Mark Sandman.
Lauren South

david hendy
Been a fan since the early 90’s used to see them live in small bars .. this song still floors me the same way … such honesty in every note
Darren Pope
So powerful. Yet so simple. Every time I hear this song I think of a love who has passed to the other side. Too soon. Too young. I will always love you, babygirl.
Jeanne Riggs
Just sent this to the love of my life. I’ve been crying for weeks... this says it all.
George Mccaffery
Who the hell gave a thumb's down on this song? They should have their fingers broken.
