1
Mary, You're covered in roses, You're covered in ashes
2
You're covered in rain
3
You're covered in babies, covered in slashes
4
You're covered in wilderness, You're covered in stains
5
You cast aside the sheet, You cast aside the shroud
6
Of another man who served the world proud
7
And You greet another Son, You lose another one
8
On some sunny day and always You'll stay, Mary
9
Jesus says, ‽Mother, I couldn't stay another day longerâ€
10
Flies right by me and leaves a kiss upon Her face
11
While the angels are singin' His praises in a blaze of glory
12
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
13
Oh Mary, She moves behind me
14
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
15
Every time the snow drifts, every time the sand shifts
16
Even when the night lifts, She's always there
17
Jesus says, ‽Mother, I couldn't stay another day longerâ€
18
Flies right by me and leaves a kiss upon Her face
19
While the angels are singin' praises in a blaze of glory
20
Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place
21
Mary, You're covered in roses, You're covered in ruin
22
Covered in secrets
23
You're covered in treetops, You're covered in birds
24
Who can sing a million songs without any words
25
You cast aside the sheets, You cast aside the shroud
26
Of another man who served the world proud
27
You greet another Son, You lose another one
28
On some sunny day and always stay
