Formentera Lady

[Verse 1] Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shore-line Cornered by the cactus and the pine Here I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow Down a crumpled sun-baked stony road [Verse 2] Dusty wheels leaning, rusting in the sun Snuff brown walls where Spanish lizards run Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan Ringed by ants and musing over man [Chorus] I'll unwind my old strings while the sun shine down Won't climb any high thing while the sun shine Formentera Lady, sing your song for me Formentera Lady, sun lover [Verse 3] Lamplight glows on old guitars the travellers strum Incense children dance to an Indian drum Here Odysseus charmèd for dark Circe fell Still her perfume lingers, still her spell [Chorus] Time's grey hand won't catch me while the stars shine down Untie and unlatch me while the stars shine Formentera Lady, dance your dance for me Formentera Lady, dark lover [Instrumental Outro]
