And the wind sighs, "Mary.........."

It’s sad to say good-bye today to Mary Travers, of Peter, Paul & Mary fame.

She gave voice to songs and hopes and dreams of better times, times of peace, times of joy.

Times still too damn long in coming.

She was 72, fell victim to the big C.

Good-bye, Mary.

It was great having you.

You did good, darlin.'

Sleep in the sand.

How many roads must a man walk down

Before you call him a man?

Yes, ‘n’ how many seas must a white dove sail

Before she sleeps in the sand?

Yes, ‘n’ how many times must the cannon balls fly

Before they’re forever banned?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,

The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

How many times must a man look up

Before he can see the sky?

Yes, ‘n’ how many ears must one man have

Before he can hear people cry?

Yes, ‘n’ how many deaths will it take till he knows

That too many people have died?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,

The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

How many years can a mountain exist

Before it’s washed to the sea?

Yes, n how many years can some people exist

Before they’re allowed to be free?

Yes, n how many times can a man turn his head,

Pretending he just doesn’t see?

The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind,

The answer is blowin’ in the wind.

Blowin’ in the Wind

Bob Dylan, 1963
