absalom, my absalom - 1997 cast of king david lyrics

[david]
tell me, absalom
what is it in me
that made you turn against your father’s heart?
my sweet absalom
could you never see?
your blind impatience drove us far apart
for you were crueler than you knew
to one who worshipped you
murdered by your pride
and joab’s dart

tell me, absalom
where should i turn now
with you run through, decaying in a snare?
my proud absalom
trussed up in that bough
only through your beauty were you there
yes, how ironic your demise
you would yourself despise
one who died
because of flowing hair

absalom, my son
would that i had died for you
laid my life aside for you
and my kingdom too
what is done is done
if a father’s love has failed
to prevail upon an errant son
then there cannot be a love that could
then there cannot be a force for good

oh, absalom
my absalom
my son

absalom
my absalom
my son

tell me, absalom
is it always thus
can no man be a hero to his child?
my sweet absalom
when i think of us
now forever lost, unreconciled
i try to roll away the years
the envy disappears
the infant and the parent undefiled

absalom, my absalom
my son
absalom, my absalom
my son

absalom
my absalom
my son
