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 Maria blows the stars around And sends the clouds a flying Maria makes the mountain sound Like folks were up there dying Maria, Maria They call the wind Maria Before I knew Maria's name I heard her wail and whining I had a girl and she had me And the sun was always shining But then one day I left my girl I left her far behind me And now I'm lost, so God damn lost Not even God can find me Maria, Maria They call the wind Maria 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 world but lonely And I'm a lost and lonely man Without a star to guide me Maria blow my love to me I need my girl beside me Maria, Maria They call the wind Maria Maria, Maria Blow my love to me Maria Maria Maria
