Away out here, they got a name
For wind and rain 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-flyin'.
Maria makes the mountains sound,
Like folks up there was dyin'.
Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria.
Before I knew Maria's name,
And heard her wail and whinin'.
I had a girl and she had me,
And the sun was always shinin'.
But then, one day, I left my girl,
I left her far behind me.
And now I'm lost, so god darn lost,
Not even God can find me.
Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria
Out here, they got a name for wind,
And rain and fire only.
But when you're lost and all alone,
There ain't no word 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.
They call the Wind Maria
For wind and rain and fire,

Like folks up there was dyin'.
Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria.

And the sun was always shinin'.
But then, one day, I left my girl,
I left her far behind me.
And now I'm lost, so god darn lost,
Not even God can find me.
Maria, Maria, they call the wind Maria

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.
