"The Wind Cries Mary" as recorded by Jimi Hendrix After all the jacks are in the 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 Somewhere a queen is weeping Somewhere a king has no wife And the wind It cries Mary LEAD The traffic lights They turn blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed The tiny island stays downstream Cause the life that lived is Is dead And the wind screams Mary Will the wind ever remember The names it has flown in the past And with this crutch It's old age And it's wisdom It whispers No This will be the last And the wind cries Mary --Scribe
