Devious Nature
I'm not looking to change your mind,
There's a place, call it home
It's no secret, the world unwinds
Maybe now you're not alone
It's just another day
in the life of Cowboy Joe
Straitlaced to the bone
(This story will not play?)
You take the wheel and play the chance

In The Quiet Morning
lyrics/music - Mimi Fariña
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 by 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 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
and 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
