And the wind cries "Mary"

Jimi wrote this in 1967 for 'Are You Experienced?'; 

it was inspired by his girlfriend at the time, Kathy Mary Etchingham. 

He'd gotten into an argument with her about her cooking. 

She got very angry and started throwing pots and pans 

and finally stormed out to stay at a friend's home for a day or so.

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 blue tomorrow

And shine their emptiness down on my bed

The tiny island sags downstream

'Cause the life that lived is dead

And the wind screams, "Mary"

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"

And the wind cries, "Mary"
