Ode to Absalom
Absalom, you can take my name
I let a slow fume waltz on a burning flame
Absalom it's a long time coming
And I don't mind, I don't mind running away
He spoke like a woman, sang like a sage
He said c'mon sweet baby well you gotta be brave
Oh my my Absalom, you couldn't just let him steal her rose away
Absalom I played my part
I fought his battles and I strung his harp
But absalom you don't need to worry
I been walking so long and I'm in no hurry at all
Late to bed early to rise
I'm tired, I'm weak, I got those bloodshot eyes
But Absalom, you don't need to worry
I'm across the river and I'm in no hurry at all
Absalom, wild thoughts of my wrongs
I unveiled my love only when you're dead and gone
Absalom I don't mind running
But you know I can't stand to see you running away
Absalom you took my girl
You took my love with your long brown hair
Absalom, I don't mind runnin'
After all these years when I let you run away
A loveless pride and a hateful crime
A hard debt paid for the city I made
But Absalom you don't need to worry I been knocked down
And I've left this town before
Absalom you know you did no wrong
I'm back in this lonely room with this heavy crown on my head
But Absalom I spent my whole life runnin'
And I hope you don't mind if I run to you again
Absalom, you can take my name
I let a slow fume waltz on a burning flame
Absalom it's a long time coming
And I don't mind, I don't mind running away
I let a slow fume waltz on a burning flame
Absalom it's a long time coming
And I don't mind, I don't mind running away
He spoke like a woman, sang like a sage
He said c'mon sweet baby well you gotta be brave
Oh my my Absalom, you couldn't just let him steal her rose away
Absalom I played my part
I fought his battles and I strung his harp
But absalom you don't need to worry
I been walking so long and I'm in no hurry at all
Late to bed early to rise
I'm tired, I'm weak, I got those bloodshot eyes
But Absalom, you don't need to worry
I'm across the river and I'm in no hurry at all
Absalom, wild thoughts of my wrongs
I unveiled my love only when you're dead and gone
Absalom I don't mind running
But you know I can't stand to see you running away
Absalom you took my girl
You took my love with your long brown hair
Absalom, I don't mind runnin'
After all these years when I let you run away
A loveless pride and a hateful crime
A hard debt paid for the city I made
But Absalom you don't need to worry I been knocked down
And I've left this town before
Absalom you know you did no wrong
I'm back in this lonely room with this heavy crown on my head
But Absalom I spent my whole life runnin'
And I hope you don't mind if I run to you again
Absalom, you can take my name
I let a slow fume waltz on a burning flame
Absalom it's a long time coming
And I don't mind, I don't mind running away
