Mary — текст песни (Patty Griffin)

Mary youre covered in roses, youre covered in ashes

Youre covered in rain

Youre covered in babies, youre covered in slashes

Youre covered in wilderness, youre 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 couldnt 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, shes always there



Jesus said mother I couldnt 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 youre covered in roses, youre covered in ruin

Youre covered in secrets

Youre covered in treetops, youre 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
