Does anyone have the words to Tom Jans' song In the Quiet Morning (from the album he did with Mimi Farina)? My significant other is doing a service for Unitarian churches on Janis Joplin and I thought she might like to see the lyrics. Thank you...

Phil,

"In the Quiet Morning" was written by Mimi Fariña.

In addition to Mimi's recording with Tom Jans, there are versions by Joan Baez (Mimi's sister) and Holly Near & Ronnie Gilbert.

Dear Mike,

My mistake. I've got the album by Mimi and Tom and thought he had written most of them. Just shows that I should check.

IN THE QUIET MORNING
Mimi Farina

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

A great album."Madman" is a great song, and one I would have done had I ever worked with someone who could do the harmonies. Jans (who is now gone, I think) did a good solo album which had a song called "I Gotta Move" on it.
