You Deserve Better

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 sweet as grass

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 sweet as grass

Your skin is sweet as grass, as you and I wak

And touch the corners of the evening
