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 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
The traffic lights, they turn up blue tomorrow,
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island, sags downstream
‘Cause the life that lived is, is dead
And the wind screams Mary
Will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past
And with his crutch, it’s old age, and it's wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries Mary
And a verse from a different song:
The guilty undertaker sighs
The lonesome organ grinder cries
The silver saxophones say I should refuse you
The cracked bells and washed-out horns
Blow into my face with scorn
But it’s not that way
I wasn’t born to lose you
