You're covered in roses You're covered in ashes You're covered in rain You're covered in baby's 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 serves the world proud And 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 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 Every time the snow drifts Every way the sand shifts Even when the night lifts she's always there
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 singing 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 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 And you greet another son, and you lose another one On some sunny day and always you stay
There's a nail in the door And there's glass on the lawn Tacks on the floor And the TV is on And I always sleep with my guns when you're gone
There's a blade by the bed And a phone in my hand A dog on the floor And some cash on the nightstand When I'm all alone the dreaming stops And I just can't stand
What should I do I'm just a little baby What if the lights go out And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan Outside the door he followed me home
So goodnight moon I want the sun If it's not here soon I might be done No it won?t be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
There's a shark in the pool And a witch in the tree A crazy old neighbor and he's been watching me And there's footsteps loud and strong coming down the hall Something's under the bed Now it's out in the hedge There's a big black crow sitting on my window ledge And I hear something scratching through the wall
What should I do I'm just a little baby What if the lights go out And maybe and then the wind just starts to moan Outside the door he followed me home So goodnight moon I want the sun If it's not here soon I might be done No it won't be too soon 'til I say goodnight moon
