A way out here they've got a name for wind and rain and fire
The rain is Jack, the fire is Joe and they call the wind Maria
Maria flows the stars around since the clouds're flying
Maria makes the mountains sound like cold wind out there dying

Maria, Maria they call the wind Maria

Before I knew Maria's name heard her wails and whining
I had a girl and she had me and the sun was always shining
And then one day I left my girl left her far behind me
Maria blowed her love to me I need her here beside me

Maria, Maria they call the wind Maria

Out here they've got a name for rain and wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone there ain't no name for lonely
Now I'm a lost and lonely man without the stars to guide me
Maria blowed her love to me I need her here beside me

Maria, Maria they call the wind Maria
