Lyrics for Song: Mary
Lyrics for Album: Lovemongers Christmas [2004]
Mary, you're covered in roses
You're covered in ashes
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 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
Jesus said, ?Mother
I couldn't stay another day longer?
And He flys right by
Leaves a kiss upon her face
And the Angels 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
Every time the snow drifts
Every where the sand shifts
Even when the night lifts
She's always there
And Jesus said, ?Mother
I couldn't stay another day longer?
And He flys right by
And leaves a kiss upon her face
And the Angels are singin' His praises
In a blaze of glory
Mary stays behind and starts
Cleaning up the place
Oh Mary, you're covered in roses
You're covered in ruin
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 sheets
You cast aside the shroud
Of another man
Who served the world proud
You greet another son
Yeah, you lose another one
On some sunny day
And always you stay, Mary
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, Mary, hmm, I love Mary
Always, always, always you'll stay
