(Alan J. Lerner - Frederick Loewe)

(Mariah)

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.
(Maria.) (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.
(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
(Maria, Maria.)...
