[Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me in a Dream]
[Verse 1]
D Bm F#m A I cried myself to sleep last night D Bm F#m A And the ghost of Carl, he approached my window D Bm F#m A I was hypnotized, I was asked, to improvise D Bm On the attitude, the regret F#m A Of a thousand centuries of death
[Chorus]
D Bm Even with the heart of terror and the superstitious wearer F#m I am riding all alone A I am writing all alone D Bm Even in my best condition, counting all the superstition F#m I am riding all alone A I am running all alone
[Verse 2]
D Bm F#m A And we laughed at the beatitudes of a thousand lines D Bm We were asked at the attitudes F#m A They reminded us of death
[Chorus 2]
D Bm Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated F#m Are you writing from the heart? A Are you writing from the heart? D Bm Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level F#m Are you writing from the heart? A Are you writing from the heart?
[Verse 2]
D Bm F#m A And I cried myself to sleep last night D Bm F#m A For the Earth, and materials, they may sound just right to me
[Outro]
D Bm Even with the rest belated, everything is antiquated F#m Are you writing from the heart? A Are you writing from the heart? D Bm Even in his heart the Devil has to know the water level F#m Are you writing from the heart? A Are you writing from the heart?
