The Wind Cries Mary - Jimi Hendrix
After all the jacks are in their boxes-symbolism And the clowns have all gone to bedYou can hear happiness staggering on down the street PersonificationFootsteps dressed in redAnd the wind whispers Mary PersonificationA broom is drearily sweepingUp the broken pieces of yesterdays life MetaphorSomewhere a queen is weeping SymbolismSomewhere a king has no wife And the wind, it cries Mary PersonificationThe traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrowAnd shine their emptiness down on my bedThe tiny island sags down stream Personificationcause the life that lived is,Is deadAnd the wind screams Mary PersonificationUh-will the wind ever rememberThe names it has blown in the past?And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdomIt whispers no, this will be the last PersonificationAnd the wind cries Mary
