After a certain special somebody released a (REALLY AWESOME AND HAPPY) song cover on her blog, and after a couple of you were so stinking sweet as to ask me if I'd be interested in doing the same thing, I decided, what the heck, I might as well try it. ;-P
I was going to do a different song, but technology conspired against me, and it turns out I'll be showing you "They Call the Wind Mariah," which I understand to be originally from the musical Paint Your Wagon (I haven't seen it). You can check out the karaoke video I used here. All rights to the proper owners, etc. (And yes, I know it's technically Maria, not Mariah, but this is how I was first exposed to it so I'm writing it the way that I want to write it. So there. :-P)
This isn't perfect; my voice wavers a leetle off-key a couple times, I'm pretty sure (*cough*); yada, yada, yada. I hope you enjoy it anyway. :) (Also, I changed some of the pronouns so it'd make more sense coming from a female singer.)

Mariah
Mariah
They call the wind Mariah
[Solo]
Away out here, they got a name for rain and wind and fire
The rain is Tess
The fire's Joe
And 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
[Solo]
Before I knew Mariah's name and heard her wailin' whining
I had a boy and he had me and the sun was always shining
But then, one day, I left my boy, I left him far behind me
And now I'm lost, so gone and lost
Not even God can find me

Mariah
They call the wind Mariah
[Solo]
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 girl, without a star to guide me
Mariah, blow my love to me
I need my boy beside me

Blow my love to me
