Mary Lyrics - Flaming Red - Patty Griffin

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 flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face 

While the angels are 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 

Everytime the snow drifts 

Every way the sand shifts 

Even when the night lifts 

She's always there 

Jesus says Mother I couldn't stay another day longer 

He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face 

While the angels are singing 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 

You're covered in treetops 

You're covered in birds 

who can sing a million songs 

Without any words 

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, Mary, Mary
