  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 dressed in red
  And the wind, whispers Mary

A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life                   (g^a g^a)
Somewhere a queen is weeping

  Somewhere a king has no wife
  And the wind, it cries Mary

The traffic lights they turn a blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream

  'Cause the life that they lived is dead
  And the wind, screams Mary

  E♭/G E/G♯  F/A (reste)  

Will the wind ever remember?
The names it has blown in the past
And with its crutch, its old age and its wisdom

  It whispers "no, this will be the last"
  And the wind, cries Mary
