Boat That Rocked movie - The Wind Cries Mary lyrics

rate me

After all the jacks are in their boxes,<br>

and the clowns have all gone to bed,<br>

you can hear happiness staggering on down the street,<br>

footprints dress in red.<br>

<br>

And the wind whispers Mary.<br>

<br>

A broom is drearily sweeping<br>

up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.<br>

Somewhere a Queen is weeping,<br>

somewhere a King has no wife.<br>

<br>

And the wind it cries Mary.<br>

<br>

The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow<br>

And shine their emptiness down on my bed,<br>

The tiny island sags downstream<br>

'Cos the life that they lived is dead.<br>

<br>

And the wind screams Mary.<br>

<br>

Will the wind ever remember<br>

The names it has blown in the past,<br>

And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom<br>

It whispers, "No, this will be the last."<br>

<br>

And The Wind Cries Mary.<br>

<br>
