"Early to Bed" is a Mark Sandman song from Like Swimming, Morphine's fourth studio album and the first of the two they made under their deal with DreamWorks, after they had cut loose from Rykodisc. Sandman, the band's singer and bass player, wrote both the words and the music.
The record had a tangled birth. A finished version had already gone to Rykodisc when DreamWorks stepped in, and the new label had some songs remixed, added "Lilah" and "Hanging on a Curtain" and dropped "In Your Shoes". The album ended up carrying both labels' names in North America, and it turned out to be the last Morphine album released while Sandman was alive.
