After all the jacks are in their boxes
and the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness-- sta-gger-ing---
on down the street
footprints dressed in red
And the wind-- whispers Ma-ry
A broom is drea-ri-ly--- 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-- Ma-ry
