Written by Paul Simon
lyrics
Joseph’s face was as 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 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
Oh this is the roots of rhythm and 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 up in 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
Oh this is the roots of rhythm and roots of rhythm remain
Joseph’s face was as 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
And 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
Oh this is the roots of rhythm and 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 up in 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
Oh this is the roots of rhythm and roots of rhythm remain
Joseph’s face was as 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

The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
