[00:00.07]The Night Didn't Answer Back (Appalachian Folk Country) - GHOST OF THE SOUTH
[00:12.21]The road stretched out
[00:15.32]A thread of black
[00:18.20]No sign ahead
[00:21.33]No map to track
[00:24.47]I asked the wind
[00:27.62]I asked the trees
[00:30.67]What's left of truth
[00:33.83]What's left of me
[00:37.13]Then I didn't answer back
[00:39.25]No I didn't care
[00:40.82]Left me talking to the cold
[00:42.38]Talking to the air
[00:44.03]I held my ground
[00:45.52]With nothing to spare
[00:47.10]Then I didn't answer back
[00:49.42]Was nothing there
[01:02.06]The towns were quiet
[01:05.23]Windows shut
[01:08.27]A fading sign
[01:10.54]Said keep your trust
[01:14.32]I stopped to watch
[01:15.99]A hawk in flight
[01:17.72]Circling wide
[01:20.86]Out of sight
[01:26.75]I whispered low
[01:30.35]What's it for
[01:32.94]No one to hear
[01:36.13]No open door
[01:42.62]And I didn't answer back
[01:44.67]No I didn't care
[01:46.29]Left me talking to the cold
[01:47.84]Talking to the air
[01:49.43]I held my ground
[01:51.01]With nothing to spare
[01:52.53]Then I didn't answer back
[01:54.83]Was nothing there
[02:09.07]A single light
[02:10.51]On a distant hill
[02:13.79]Flickered once
[02:16.82]And then went still
[02:19.76]I felt the weight
[02:21.44]Of a thousand hands
[02:23.28]Building silence
[02:24.74]Across this land
