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 sheet
 You cast aside the shroud
 Of another man
 Who served the world proud
 You grieve another son
 You lose another one
 On some sunny day
 And always you stayed, Mary
 Jesus said, mother I couldn't stay another day longer
 And He flies right by
 Leaves a kiss upon her face
 Every where the sand shifts
 Even when the night leaves
 She's always there
 And Jesus says, mother I couldn't stay another day longer
 And He flies right by
 And leaves a kiss upon her face
 And the angels sing His praises
 In a blaze of glory
 Mary stays behind
 And starts cleanin' 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 sheet
 You cast aside the shroud
 Oh another man
 Who served the world proud
 You grieve 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, aiways
 You stay
