[Verse 1]
G C
Mary, you're covered in roses
G D
You're covered in ashes, you're covered in rain
G C
You're covered in babies, you're covered in slashes
G D
You're covered in wilderness, you're covered in stains
[Verse 2]
G C
You cast aside the sheet, you cast aside the shroud
G D
Of another man, who served the world proud
G C
You greet another son, you lose another one
G D G
On some sunny day and always you stay, Mary
[Chorus]

Jesus says, "Mother I couldn't stay another day longer"

While the angels were singing his praises in a blaze of glory

Every time the snow drifts, every way the sand shifts

Even when the night lifts, she's always there

Who can sing a million songs without any words

Of another man, who served the world proud

On some sunny day and always you stay
