Zuco - Black River Lyrics

A river flowed from glacier to bay
Fed the people of earlier days
Of the old Duwamish tribe
Now it's gone up and died
The river's all done with salmon and reed
A freeway and a sign where she used to be
The river's all done, just legend and lore
The river is gone
Black River no more
For many years, they gathered and fished
Swam a river, that nobody missed
Now the water and village are gone
Lower the lake, the lower the sun
The river's all done with salmon and reed
A freeway and a sign where she used to be
The river's all done, just legend and lore
The river is gone
Black River no more
In the name of progress, they cut a canal
So ships could sail to sea
In the name of progress, they cut a canal
They cut her quick and deep...
The river's all done with salmon and reed
A freeway and a sign where she used to be
The river's all done, just legend and lore
The river's all gone
Black River no more
