After all the jacks are in their boxesand the clowns have all gone to bedYou can hear happiness staggering down the streetfootprints dressed in redand the wind it screams mary
A broom is drearily sweepingup the broke pieces of yesterdays lifesays Somewhere a queen is weepingand Somewhere a king has no wifeAnd the wind it whispers Mary
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrowand shine emptiness down on my bedThe tiny island sags on down the stream'cause the life that lived is deadAnd the wind it screams MaryAnd the wind it cries Mary
Will the wind ever rememberthe names it has blown in the pastwith its crutch, its old age, and its wisdomit whispers "no, this won't be the last"And the wind cries MaryAnd the wind cries Mary
