( Patty Griffin Cover )      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 serves the world proud   You greet another son and you lose another one   On some sunny day and always you stay   Mary      Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer   He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face   While the angels were singin' his praises in a blaze of glory   Mary stays behind and starts cleaning up the place      Oh Mary   You move behind me   You leave you fingerprints everywhere   Everytime the snow drifts   Every way the sand shifts   Even when the night lifts, you're always there      You cast aside the sheet   You cast aside the shroud   Of another man, who serves the world proud   You greet another son and you lose another one   On some sunny day and always you stay   Mary      Jesus said Mother I couldn't stay another day longer   He flies right by and leaves a kiss upon her face   While the angels were 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 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 sheet   You cast aside the shroud   Of another man, who serves the world proud   You greet another son and you lose another one   On some sunny day and always you stay   Always you stay   Mary   Na, na, na...   Oh Mary
