Oil Skin Lyrics by River Whyless

2022

[Verse]

My mother would bathe me in the sink
Pull the oil from my skin
Young, young boy
Swinging in your arms
Fingers pushing back my hair
So I could see
[Chorus]
Held me when my soul was opened
By the touch of autumn
I was not broken yet

But heading softly to the night
[Verse]

Held me when my soul was opened
By the touch of autumn
I was just broken then
By time
Safe with her in the morning
But heading softly to thе night
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
I was hoping to find I was justified, in time
I was hoping to find what got away from me
I was hoping to find I was justifiеd
