Mary
You're covered in roses
You're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies
Covered in slashes
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
And you greet another son
And you lose another one
On some sunny day
And always you stay
Mary
Jesus said, mother, I couldn't stay another day longer
He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels were 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
Every time the snow drifts
Every way the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts
She's always there
You're covered in roses
You're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered in babies
Covered in slashes
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
And you greet another son
And you lose another one
On some sunny day
And always you stay
Mary
Jesus said, mother, I couldn't stay another day longer
He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face
While the angels were 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
Every time the snow drifts
Every way the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts
She's always there
