Mary lyrics

Artist  : Patty Griffin 
Song : Mary



 Send "Mary" Ringtone to your Cell 

 
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 stay, Mary

Jesus says Mother I couldn`t stay another day
longer
Flys 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

Mary she moves behind me 
She leaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand
shifts
Even when the night lifts, she`s always there

Jesus said Mother I couldn`t stay another day
longer
Flys 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

Mary you`re covered in roses, you`re covered in
ruin
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 stay
Mary, Mary, Mary
