MARY (Patty Griffin) Mary youre covered in roses Youre covered in ashes Youre covered in rain Youre covered in babies Youre covered in slashes Youre covered in wilderness Youre 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 Youll lose another one On some sunny day And always you stay - Mary Jesus said mother I couldnt stay another day longer Flies right by me 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 she moves behind me She leaves her fingerprints everywhere Every time the snow drifts Every way the sand shifts Even when the night lifts Shes always there Jesus said mother I couldnt stay another day longer Flies right by me 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 youre covered in roses Youre covered in ruins Youre covered in secrets Youre covered in treetops Youre 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 Youll lose another one On some sunny day And always you stay - Mary, Mary, Mary
