Lyrics Black East River - Matthew Logan Vasquez

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 that summer fence
Much too strong on Governor's Island
I beg you 'Please?' but you still said 'no'
Do you remember the black East River?
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?
Did you rehearse out to a call
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
No no no no no
