The Wind Cries Mary

[Verse 1] After all the jacks are in their boxes And the clowns have all gone to bed You can hear happiness staggering on down the street Footprints dress in red [Hook] And the wind whispers Mary [Verse 2] A broom is drearily sweeping Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life Somewhere a Queen is weeping Somewhere a King has no wife [Hook] And the wind cries Mary [Verse 3] The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow Shine their emptiness down on my bed The tiny island that sags downstream 'Cos the life that they lived is dead [Hook] And the wind screams Mary [Musical Solo] (Oh oh yeah) [Verse 4] Will the wind ever remember? The names it has blown in the past With this crutch, it's old age it's wisdom It whispers, "No, this will be the last." [Hook/Outro] And the wind cries Mary!
