Mary

Mary you're covered in roses
 You're covered in ashes
 You're 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 greet another son
 You lose another one
 On some sunny day
 And always you stay
 Mary
 Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
 He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
 While the angels are singing 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
 Everytime the snow drifts
 Every way the sand shifts
 Even when the night lifts
 She's always there
 Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
 He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
 While the angels are singing his praises in a blaze of glory
 Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
 Mary you're covered in roses
 You're covered in ruins
 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
 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, Mary, Mary
