Oil & Lavender

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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
