  S1:
  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 -x---x---x 

  And the wind whispers, "Ma--ry" -x---x---x

  S2:
  A broom is drearily sweeping 

  Up the broken pieces of yesterday's life 

  Somewhere, a queen is weeping 

  Somewhere, a king has no wife -x---x---x 

  And the wind, it cries, "Ma--ry" -x---x---x

  S3:
  The traffic lights, they turn blue tomorrow 

  And shine their emptiness down on my bed 

  The tiny island sags downstream 

  'Cause the life that lived is dead -x---x---x 

  And the wind screams, "Ma--ry" -x---x---x

  S4:
  Will the wind ever remember 

  The names it has blown in the past 

  And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom 

  It whispers, "No, this will be the last" x-----x-----x-----x 

  And the wind cries, "Ma--ry" -x---x---x
