---In the Quiet Morning---
--10,000 Maniacs--

In the quiet morning
There was much despair
In the hours that followed
No one could repairThat 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 railShe once walked tight by my side
I'm sure she walked by you
Her striding steps could not deny
Torment from a child who knewAnd in the quiet morning
There would be despair
And in the hour that followed
No one could repairThat poor girl
She cried out her song so loud
It was heard the whole world round
A symphony of violence
The great southwest unboundIn the quiet morning
There was much despair
In the hour that followed
No one could repairThat 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
