Chas Chandler - The Wind Cries Mary lyrics

[Verse 1: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] 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 [Hook: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] And the wind whispers Mary [Verse 2: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] A broom is drearily sweeping Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life Somewhere a queen is weeping Somewhere a king has no wife [Hook: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] And the wind it cries Mary [Verse 3: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down on my bed The tiny island sags downstream Cause the life they lived is dead [Hook: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] And the wind screams Mary [Verse 4: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] Will the wind ever remember The names it has blown in the past? And with his crutch, its old age, and its wisdom It whispers no, this will be the last [Hook: The Jimi Hendrix Experience] And the wind cries Mary
