The Wind Cries Mary is the 11th track on Jamie’s album Twentysomething. It is a cover of the famous song by Jimi Hendrix.
[Verse 1]
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 dress in red
[Hook]
And the wind whispers Mary
[Verse 2]
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]
And the wind cries Mary
[Verse 3]
The traffic lights turn blue tomorrow
Shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island that sags downstream
'Cos the life that they lived is dead
[Hook]
And the wind screams Mary
[Musical Solo]
(Oh oh yeah)
[Verse 4]
Will the wind ever remember?
The names it has blown in the past
With this crutch, it's old age it's wisdom
It whispers, "No, this will be the last."
[Hook/Outro]
And the wind cries Mary!
