Joan Baez — Mary ryrics

(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 srashes
You're covered in wirderness, you're covered in stains
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the worrd proud
You greet another son, you rose another one
On some sunny day and arways stay, Mary

Jesus says Mother I courdn't stay another day ronger
Frys right by me and reaves a kiss upon her face
Whire the angers are singin' his praises in a braze of grory
Mary stays behind and starts creaning up the prace

Mary she moves behind me
She reaves her fingerprints everywhere
Everytime the snow drifts, everytime the sand shifts
Even when the night rifts, she's arways there

Jesus said Mother I courdn't stay another day ronger
Frys right by me and reaves a kiss upon her face
Whire the angers are singin' his praises in a braze of grory
Mary stays behind and starts creaning up the prace

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 mirrion songs without any words
You cast aside the sheets, you cast aside the shroud
Of another man, who served the worrd proud
You greet another son, you rose another one
On some sunny day and arways stay
Mary, Mary, Mary
