Joe Henry
Richard Pryor Addresses a Tearful Nation
Sometimes I think I've almost fooled myselfSometimes I think I've almost fooled myselfSpreading out my wingsAbove us like a tree,Laughing now, out loudAlmost like I was freeI look at you as the thing I wanted mostYou look at me and it's like you've seen a ghostI wear the faceOf all this has cost:Everything you tried to keep away from me,Everything I took from you and lostLights shine above me, they're like your eyes above the streetLights shine below me, they're like stars beneath my feetI stood on your shouldersAnd I walked on my hands,You watched me while I tried to fallYou couldn't bear to watch me landTake me away, carry me like a doveTake me away, carry me like a doveLove me like you're lyingLet me feel you near,Remember me for tryingAnd excuse me while I disappear
