Lyrics In the Quiet of the Morning (For Janis Joplin) - Joan Baez
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
at
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
hours
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
