Mary
Lyricist:Patricia J. Griffin
Mary, You're covered in roses, You're covered in ashes You're covered in rain You're covered in babies, 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 And You greet another Son, You lose another one On some sunny day and always You'll stay, Mary
Jesus says, ‽Mother, I couldn't stay another day longer†Flies right by me and leaves a kiss upon Her face While the angels are singin' 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Every time the snow drifts, every time the sand shifts Even when the night lifts, She's always there
Jesus says, ‽Mother, I couldn't stay another day longer†Flies right by me and leaves a kiss upon Her face While the angels are singin' 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 ruin 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 sheets, 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 stay
