Viewing Lyrics for Mary:
| | | Artist: | Patty Griffin |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Mary | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 33 | | | | Lyrics: | Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ashes
You're covered in rain
You're covered
in babies, you're 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
You greet another son, you lose another one
On some sunny day and always you
stay, Mary
Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer
He flys right by 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
Everytime the snow drifts, every way the sand
shifts
Even when the night lifts, she's always there
Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay
another day longer
He flys right by 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
Mary you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruins
you're covered in
secrets
Your'e 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 you stay
Mary, Mary, Mary | | | |
