about

Written by Alan Lerner and Frederick Loewe in 1951 for the film "Paint your Wagon".

lyrics

Away out here , they've got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire's Joe
And they call the wind Maria
Maria blows the stars around
Sets the clouds a'flyin
Maria makes the mountains sound
Like folks out there were dying

Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria

Before I knew Maria's name
And heard her wail and whining
I had a girl and she had me
And the sun was always shining
But then one day I left my girl
I left her far behind me
And now Im lost so god darn lost
Not even God can find me

Maria, Maria
They call the wind Maria

Out here they have a name for rain
and wind and fire only
But when your 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

Balk New York, New York

On and off again project/ band of Reid Taylor since 2009. He writes songs and then asks his friends to help play them so it will sound better. Interests range from bombastic atonal noise shred to pretty melodies and harmonies. Familiar themes visited and often revisited include the 4 seasons, songs about 'jamming', sports, and the good, bad, and ugly that life has to offer. ... more
