Mariah
Mariah, Mariah They call the wind Mariah.
Away out here they got a name for rain and wind and fire.
The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe. They call the wind Mariah.
Mariah blows the stars around and sends the clouds a flyin'.
Mariah makes the mountains sound like folks were up there dyin'
Mariah, Mariah They call the wind Mariah.
Before I knew Mariahs' 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 gall durn lost not even God can find me.
Mariah, Mariah They call the wind Mariah.
Out here they got a name for rain for wind and fire only
But when you're lost and all alone there ain't no word for lonely.
And I'm a lost and lonely man without a star to guide me.
Mariah blow my love to me. I need my girl beside me.
Mariah, Mariah They call the wind Mariah.
Mariah, Mariah Blow my love to me.
