[Verse 1]
Honey, cover me with roses
Cover me in the leaves of fall
On those beads of your rosary
Hey, remember me when you call
I'll be waiting by the telephone
Though you're just down the hall
When I'm beat down, cold, and stoned
Wrap me up in your prayer shawl
[Verse 2]
Now some will steal your garden
Some will sow their weeds
Yeah, some will rob you good and blind
Just to see you bleed
Honey, cover me with roses
This sack of bones and skin
Come and breathe upon this spirit
'Fore winter settles in
[Chorus]
Checking out of this cheap motel
With the wind all in our souls
God shows His face farther up the road
[Verse 3]
Now all those choices that you took
Asked more than you can give
And all of those worst-case scenarios
Become your one life to live
And all the greed and powers that be
They have worked no ill effect
There are never disappointments
When there's nothing left
Honey, cover me with roses
Cover me in the leaves of fall
On those beads of your rosary
Hey, remember me when you call
I'll be waiting by the telephone
Though you're just down the hall
When I'm beat down, cold, and stoned
Wrap me up in your prayer shawl
[Verse 2]
Now some will steal your garden
Some will sow their weeds
Yeah, some will rob you good and blind
Just to see you bleed
Honey, cover me with roses
This sack of bones and skin
Come and breathe upon this spirit
'Fore winter settles in
[Chorus]
Checking out of this cheap motel
With the wind all in our souls
God shows His face farther up the road
[Verse 3]
Now all those choices that you took
Asked more than you can give
And all of those worst-case scenarios
Become your one life to live
And all the greed and powers that be
They have worked no ill effect
There are never disappointments
When there's nothing left
