Joe Henry - Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation





 

Artist: Joe Henry
Album: Scar
Title: Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation

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¡º
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¡º
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¡º
Love me like you're lying
Let me feel you near,
Remember me for trying
And excuse me while i disappear
