Introduction: Eb E F
C Bb F
After all the jacks are in their boxes
C Bb F
And the clowns have all gone to bed
C Bb F
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
G Bb
Footprints dress in red
G Bb Eb E F
And the wind whispers Mary
C Bb F
A broom is drearily sweeping
C Bb F
Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life
C Bb F
Somewhere a Queen is weeping
G Bb Eb E F
Somewhere a King has no wife
G Bb Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary
C Bb F
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
C Bb F
Shine their emptiness down on my bed
C Bb F
The tiny island that sags downstream
G Bb Eb E F
'Cos the life that they lived is dead
G Bb Eb E F
And the wind screams Mary
C Bb F
Will the wind ever remember?
C Bb F
The names it has blown in the past
C Bb F
With this crutch, it's old age it's wisdom
G Bb Eb E F
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."
G Bb Eb E F
And the wind cries Mary!
