\\n\\nLyrics:
\\n\\n[BALLADEERS]
\\nHe believes (belies (belabors))
\\nHimself into the wee hours of the morning
\\n\\u2018Til even he finds it boring
\\nSo he leaves it to long (and then look) for
\\nSomeone else with some midnight oil that wants burning
\\nAnd seeing as he\\u2019s made up so much of this story
\\n(We will too)
\\nBehold dear listener some 50 years early
\\n(The first CQ):
\\n\\n[MORSE]
\\nMark what goes on under the sun
\\nBonds are broken feuds are begun
\\nBehind veils of pride that no pastor\\u2019s son
\\nCan peek through
\\nPeek through
\\nBut these treacherous partners with their envy and lies
\\nHave drifted off and left me to my
\\nOwn beloved darkness where I
\\nSeek you
\\nSeek you
\\nCQ
\\n\\n[BALLADEERS]
\\nAnd who should hear our hero
\\nBut a sleepless God of Wire in Waiting
\\nWho jumps up from the cot where he ought to be sleeping
\\nHaving implored (empowered (imperiled))
\\nThe free world into the wee hours of the morning
\\nAnd because that world keeps adding more to his story
\\n(So will we)
\\nBehold the rail-splitter of Illinois
\\n(At the straight key:)
\\n\\n[LINCOLN]
\\nMark what goes on under the sun
\\nBonds are broken wars are begun
\\nBehind veils of pride that no farmer\\u2019s son
\\nCan peek through
\\nPeek through
\\nBut these treacherous generals asking \\u201chow, sir, and why?\\u201d
\\nHave drifted off and left me to my
\\nOwn beloved darkness where I
\\nSeek you
\\nSeek you
\\nSeek you
\\n\\n[MORSE AND LINCOLN]
\\nMark what goes on under the sun
\\nThe dream is over the nightmare\\u2019s begun
\\nBehind veils of pride no daughter or son
\\nCan peek through
\\nPeek through
\\nLet these embattled children with children and wives
\\nDrift off to sleep and leave me to my
\\nOwn beloved darkness where I
\\nSeek you
\\nSeek you
\\nSeek you
\\nCQ
\\nCQ
\\nCQ...
