steve bell - absalom, absalom lyrics

[verse]
come and smear me with the branches from that tree
hyssop dipped in innocent blood to make me clean
let an old man’s broken bones once more rejoice
absalom, you were my little boy

[chorus]
absalom, absalom
my son, my son, my son
caught in the tangles of deceit
hanging lifeless from that tree
absalom, absalom
my son, my son, my son
caught in the tangles of your hair
fruit of my own sins to bear
oh, absalom

[verse]
you were the laughing boy who bounced upon my knee
you learned to play the harp and use the shepherd’s sling
always watching, my impressionable son
absalom, what havе i done?

[verse]
you were watching whеn i took a good man’s wife
gave the order for his murder just to cover up my crime
all the vanity, cruel arrogance and greed
absalom, you learned it all from me
[chorus]
absalom, absalom
my son, my son, my son
caught in the tangles of deceit
hanging lifeless from that tree
absalom, absalom
my son, my son, my son
caught in the tangles of your hair
fruit of my own sins to bear
oh, absalom
