The Wind Cries Mary (Live at The X-Lounge) - John Mayer And after all the Jacks are in their boxes And the clowns have all gone to bed You can hear the happiness staggering on downstream Footprints dressed in red A broom is drearily sweeping Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life Somewhere a Queen is weepin' Somewhere a King has no wife And the wind cries Mary The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow And shine their emptiness down down on my bed Their tiny island sags on downstream 'Cause the life that lived is dead And the wind screams Mary Now the wind cries Mary Now will that wind ever remember All those names it has blown in the past Now with its crutch its old age and its wisdom It whispers "No this will be the last" And the wind screams Mary And the wind screams Mary
