They Call the Wind Maria

Lyrics

[Verse 1] A way out here, they've got a name For rain and wind and fire The rain is Tess, the fire is Joe And they call the wind Maria [Verse 2] Maria blows the stars around And sends the clouds a flying Maria makes the mountain sound Like folks were up there dying [Chorus] Maria, (Maria), Maria, (Maria) They call the wind Maria (Maria) [Verse 3] Before I knew Maria's name And heard her wail and whining I had a gal and she had me And the sun was always shining [Verse 4] But then one day I left my gal I left her far behind me And now I'm lost, so God damn lost Not even God can find me [Chorus] Maria, (Maria), Maria, (Maria) They call the wind Maria [Verse 5] Out here they've got a name for rain For wind and fire only But when you're lost and all alone There ain't no word but lonely [Verse 6] And I'm a lost and lonely man Without a star to guide me Maria, blow my love to me I need my gal beside me [Chorus] Maria, (Maria), Maria, (Maria) They call the wind Maria [Outro] Maria, (Maria), Maria, (Maria) Blow my love to me Maria Maria Maria
