In the Quiet Morning

lyrics/music - Mimi Fariña
 In the quiet morning
 there was much despair
 and in the hours that followed
 no one could repair
 That poor girl
 tossed by the tides of misfortune
 Barely here to tell her tale
 Rolled in on a sea of disaster
 Rolled out on a mainline rail
 She once walked tight by my side
 I'm sure she walked by you
 Her striding steps could not deny
 Torment from a child who knew
 That in the quiet morning
 there would be despair
 and in the hour that followed
 no one could repair
 That poor girl
 she cried out her song so loud
 it was heard the whole world round
 (A symphony of violence
 The great southwest unbound)
 In the quiet morning
 there was much despair
 and in the hour that followed
 no one could repair
 That poor girl
 tossed by the tides of misfortune
 Barely here to tell her tale
 Rolled in on a sea of disaster
 Rolled out on a mainline rail
