Mary

Mary, you're covered in roses

You're covered in ashes

Covered in rain

You're covered in babies

You're covered in slashes

You're covered in wilderness

You're covered in stains

You cast aside the sheets

You cast aside the shroud

Of another man

Who served the world proud

You greet another son

You lose another one

On some sunny day

And always you stay, Mary

Jesus said, ?Mother

I couldn't stay another day longer?

And He flys right by

Leaves a kiss upon her face

And the Angels singin' His praises

In a blaze of glory

Mary stays behind and starts

Cleaning up the place

Oh Mary, she moves behind me

She leaves her fingerprints everywhere

Every time the snow drifts

Every where the sand shifts

Even when the night lifts

She's always there

And Jesus said, ?Mother

I couldn't stay another day longer?

And He flys right by

And leaves a kiss upon her face

And the Angels are singin' His praises

In a blaze of glory

Mary stays behind and starts

Cleaning up the place

Oh Mary, you're covered in roses

You're covered in ruin

You're covered in secrets

You're covered in treetops

You're covered in birds

Who can sing a million songs

Without any words

You cast aside the sheets

You cast aside the shroud

Of another man

Who served the world proud

You greet another son

Yeah, you lose another one

On some sunny day

And always you stay, Mary

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mary, hmm, I love Mary

Always, always, always you'll stay
