(Paul Simon)
|
|
Joseph's face was black as night
|
The pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
|
His path was marked
|
By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
|
And he walked his days
|
Under African skies
|
|
This is the story of how we begin to remember
|
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
|
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
|
These are the roots of rhythm
|
And the roots of rhythm remain
|
|
In early memory
|
Mission music
|
Was ringing 'round my nursery door
|
I said take this child, Lord
|
From Tucson Arizona
|
Give her the wings to fly through harmony
|
And she won't bother you no more
|
|
This is the story of how we begin to remember
|
This is the powerful pulsing of love in the vein
|
After the dream of falling and calling your name out
|
These are the roots of rhythm
|
And the roots of rhythm remain
|
|
Joseph's face was black as night
|
And the pale yellow moon shone in his eyes
|
His path was marked
|
By the stars in the Southern Hemisphere
|
And he walked the length of his days
|
Under African skies
