In The Quiet Morning Lyrics - 10,000 Maniacs

In the quiet morning 

There was much despair 

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 

And 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 

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
