Patty Griffin: "Mary"
by Patty Griffin
Mary
Mary
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
Mary

Shivaree's "Goodnight Moon"
by Shivaree
with Ambrosia Parsley singing
Goodnight Moon Lyrics
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
