Richard Pryor Addresses A Tearful Nation Lyrics - Singles - Joe Henry

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 (Repeat 2X) 

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 (Repeat 2X) 

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 (Repeat 2X) 

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 (Repeat 2X) 

I disappear...disappear
