You Deserve Better en Zulu Winter

Your skin is sweet as grass, as you and I wak
And touch the corners of the evening
Oh, how do we begin to wriggle and to spin
And talk if it doesn't happen

I've heard the lonely man
Speaking as I speak
And love tell you how it scares me
Your eyes run me through
As heavy and as blue
As mermaids swimming in the dull dusk

You (you deserve better) deserve better, sweetheart
You deserve, (you deserve better)
You (you deserve better) deserve better, (you deserve better), sweetheart
You deserve, (you deserve better)
Your skin is the sweetest..

When winter kept us warm, dulling us with snow
It's then that I need your hands
What roots have we got? Is this our lot?
To hold and shake beneath the cool sun

You (you deserve better) deserve better, sweetheart
You deserve, (you deserve better)
You (you deserve better) deserve better, (you deserve better), sweetheart
You deserve, (you deserve better)
Your skin is the sweetest..

Your skin is sweet as grass, as you and I wak
And touch the corners of the evening
