Mary, she moves behind me, she leaves her fingerprints everywhere  
Everytime the snow drifts, every way the sand shifts, even when the night lifts she's always there

Verse 3 
Oh, Mary, you're covered in roses, you're covered in ruin, you're covered in secrets  
Your 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  
You greet another son, and you lose another one on some sunny day, and always you stay, Mary
