Lovemongers - Mary lyrics

rate me

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
