A way out here, they've got a nameFor rain and wind and fireThe rain is Tess, the fire is JoeAnd they call the wind MariaMaria blows the stars aroundAnd sends the clouds a flyingMaria makes the mountain soundLike folks were up there dyingMaria, MariaThey call the wind MariaBefore I knew Maria's nameI heard her wail and whiningI had a girl and she had meAnd the sun was always shiningBut then one day I left my girlI left her far behind meAnd now I'm lost, so God damn lostNot even God can find meMaria, MariaThey call the wind MariaOut here they've got a name for rainFor wind and fire onlyBut when you're lost and all aloneThere ain't no world but lonelyAnd I'm a lost and lonely manWithout a star to guide meMaria blow my love to meI need my girl beside meMaria, MariaThey call the wind MariaMaria, MariaBlow my love to meMariaMariaMaria
