Black East River Lyrics by Matthew Logan Vasquez

Solicitor Returns

2016

As the taxi began to spin
Over the Williamsburg Bridge
The Haitian driver and my friend Ian
Do you remember the black East River?
As we danced at summer's end
Marching strong on Governors Island
I begged you please, but you still said no
Do you sremember the black East River?
No, no, no, no, no
Six feet deep in toxic waste
I watched the news while I was out of state
An act of God took my guitar away
Do you remember the black East River?
No, no, no, no, no
Did you rehearse how to recall
Teenage kids, we watched the towers fall
Look out my window, see it stand so tall
I will remember the black East River
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
