Below - Slaid Cleaves[00:00:00]

Written by：Slaid Cleav[00:00:01]

There's an old dirt road just off route nine[00:00:05]

Fades into the lake at the low water line[00:00:12]

Sometimes I wander down that road alone[00:00:18]

Remembering the town that I once called home[00:00:24]

I grew up in the valley every neighbor a friend[00:00:30]

Until the modern world started creeping in[00:00:36]

One day came the lawyers with cash in hand[00:00:43]

They swore that our village would light up the land[00:00:49]

The dusky waters move cold and slow[00:00:56]

And the ghosts of a village still wander below[00:01:02]

Homesteads of families and friends forever more[00:01:08]

Haunting the valley below this sparkling shore[00:01:14]

Surrounding the valley was a painted red line[00:01:21]

Drawn by company men like marking a crime[00:01:27]

A silent reminder that all inside it must go[00:01:33]

Or be lost to the rising dead river's flow[00:01:39]

Some folks too the money started grinding gears[00:01:45]

While the rest of us held out twenty odd years[00:01:52]

We watched our town like a photograph fade[00:01:58]

As the company came to take it all away[00:02:04]

They tore down the church the schoolhouse burned[00:02:10]

They dug up the graves the wheels of progress turned[00:02:17]

They got Dutchie's store and Haven's pool hall[00:02:23]

When the dozers rolled it shattered us all[00:02:29]

The dusky waters move cold and slow[00:02:36]

And the ghosts of a village still wander below[00:02:41]

Homesteads of families and friends forever more[00:02:48]

Haunting the valley below this sparkling shore[00:02:54]

Old May Savage stayed as long as she could[00:03:25]

Her house on the hill towered over the flood[00:03:31]

It rose up alone in the dark of night[00:03:38]

It's face on the water the cold moonlight[00:03:44]

I shake off the memories on my lips a prayer[00:03:50]

Thanks for the grace and the beauty down there[00:03:57]

And while the porch lights glow all over the state[00:04:02]

There's nothing but darkness under the lake[00:04:09]

The dusky waters move cold and slow[00:04:15]

And the ghosts of a village still wander below[00:04:21]

Homesteads of families and friends forever more[00:04:27]

Haunting the valley below this sparkling shore[00:04:34]

They haunt the valley below this sparkling shore[00:04:40]
