And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
Footprints dressed in red
And the wind wispers mary
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind wispers mary
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down, down on my bed
The tiny island sags downstream
'cause the life that lived is, is dead
And the wind screams mary
And the wind cries mary
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
With it's crutch, it's old age, and it's wisdom
It whispers "no, this won't be the last"
And the wind cries mary
And the wind cries mary
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 wispers mary A broom is drearily sweeping Up the broken pieces of yesterdays life Somewhere a queen is weeping Somewhere a king has no wife And the wind wispers mary The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down, down on my bed The tiny island sags downstream 'cause the life that lived is, is dead And the wind screams mary And the wind cries mary Will the wind ever remember The names it has blown in the past With it's crutch, it's old age, and it's wisdom It whispers "no, this won't be the last" And the wind cries mary And the wind cries mary Explain Request ×
