Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt - Under African Skies lyrics
[Paul Simon, Linda Ronstadt - Under African Skies lyrics]
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
Joseph's face was as black as the 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
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
Joseph's face was as black as the 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
