Good Night, New York by Julie Gold

:

Poignant song about the things we associate with America and New York and the loss of innocence of a country, a city, and a culture through time. Set in the context of a daughter looking back on the aspirations of her immigrant mother sailing into the "harbor of hopes and of dreams." I believe Nancy Griffith sang this on The David Letterman Show on the second anniversary of 9/11. It was also on MIchael Moore's tribute CD to 9/11.
