From the musical Paint Your Wagon (I should have posted it on a white wind day )
They Call The Wind Moria
Moria
Moria
They call the wind Moria
Away out here they got a name
For rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess, the fire Joe,
And they call the wind Moria
Moria blows the stars around
And sends the clouds a’flyin’
Moria makes the mountains sound
Like folks were up there dying
Moria
Moria
They call the wind Moria
Before I knew Moria’s 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 gone and lost
Not even God can find me
Moria
Moria
They call the wind Moria
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 but lonely
And I’m a lost and lonely man
Without a star to guide me
Moria blow my love to me
I need my girl beside me
Moria
Moria
They call the wind Moria
Moria
Moria!
Blow my love to me
I Talk To The Trees
I talk to the trees
But they don’t listen to me
I talk to the stars
But they never hear me
The breeze hasn’t time
To stop, and hear what I say
I talk to them all
In vain
But suddenly, my words
Reach someone elses ear
At someone elses heart
Strings too
I tell you my dreams
And while you’re listening to me
I suddenly see them
Come true
I can see us some April night
Looking out across a rollin’ farm
Having supper in the candlelight
Walking later, arm in arm
Then I’ll tell you
How I pass the day
Thinking mainly how
The night would be
Then I’ll try to find
The words to say
All the things you
Mean to me
I tell you my dreams
And while you’re
Listening to me
I suddenly see them
Come true
