Cover art for The Wind Cries Mary lyrics by Jimi Hendrix Experience, The

Part 1: Boy meets girl, party late at night, she has "footprints dressed in red" cute red shoes...

Part 2: Their relation ship ends in sadness. She weeps, he is now alone.

Part 3: "The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrow" is a positive pregnancy test. "The tiny island sags downstream 'Cos the life that they lived is dead." She has an abortion.

Part 4 is about his own regrets...

My Interpretation

@TotoLeTroll Brilliant literal interpretation.
