In The Quiet Morning [German translation]

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 right 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

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

La la la la, la la la

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

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la la

La la la la, la la la
