Oil & Lavender Lyrics - In Memory Of Loss - Nathaniel Rateliff

And being outside your wisdom 

And stretching the truth 

I was the oil and lavender 

But never for you 

You had to toil and sit in 

The sun browned your skin 

It burned all the alabaster 

Till the ask choked the wind 

They say it's the longest light 

To ever have shown 

They say it's the longest lie 

And that nobody knows 

They say it's the longest lie 

And I still taste the smoke 

Now only ungrateful remember (?) 

To sleep in the stone 

With all of your grace and thunder 

The roll and the boom 

I was the cloak and dagger 

That snuck into you 

And we have but one (left? /life?) finger 

That's pointing at us 

And that would be the longest night 

That chilled ___ to bone 

That would be the longest night 

To sleep here alone 

That would be the longest night 

I think you'd be warmer closer to me
