I saw you at the river some time ago
I was fetching water for home
You wiped your eyes at the dryness of it all
You couldn't see beauty in brown, you wanted green, not beauty in brown
I smoothed my cotton shirt
Wiped the sweat out of my eyes
And your culture leaves you blinded now
You only looked at my breasts, you only, you only looked at my breasts
So now you found the other side
I don't know what they've done to you, but you're, so changed
Is it due to the fact that now, like a drug your body needs the rain?
And to the fact that you don't know when it is going back, oh good
So much here, so much to be found
Beauty in brown
Gonna make you see
Beauty in brown
I'm not fooled by your back that's turned
Nor by the colour of your sweat
You remember loving the heat and the dust
I'd make a deal with the devil, I'm so convinced I
I'd make a deal with the devil
Due to the fact that now, like a drug, your body needs the rain
And to the fact that you don't know when it is going back again
So much here, so much to be found
Beauty in brown
Gonna make you see
Beauty in brown, yeah
Beauty in brown
Gonna make you see
Beauty in brown
Beauty in brown
Beauty in brown
Beauty in brown
Beauty in brown
