Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation Lyrics

Artist: Joe Henry
Album: Scar

Sometimes I think I€™ve almost fooled myself
Sometimes I think I€™ve almost fooled myself--
Spreading out my wings
Above us like a tree,
Laughing now, out loud
Almost like I was free

I look at you as the thing I wanted most
You look at me and it€™s like you€™ve seen a ghost€"
I wear the face
Of all this has cost:
Everything you tried to keep away from me,
Everything I took from you and lost

Lights shine above me, they€™re like your eyes above the street
Lights shine below me, they€™re like stars beneath my feet€"
I stood on your shoulders
And I walked on my hands,
You watched me while I tried to fall
You can€™t bear to watch me land

Take me away, carry me like a dove
Take me away, carry me like a dove€"
Love me like you€™re lying
Let me feel you near,
Remember me for trying
And excuse me while I disappear
