Standard (EADGBE)

Verse

Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shoreline

Cornered by the cactus and the pine

Here I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow

Down a sunbaked crumpled stoney road

Dusty wheeels 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 stars shine down

Won't climb any high thing

While the stars shine

Formetera Lady sing your song for me

Formetera Lady sweet lover

Verse

Lamplight glows on old guitarsthe travellers strum

Inscense children dance to an indian drum

Here Odysseus charm-ed for dark Cercie fell

Still her perfume lingers still her spell

Chorus

Time's gray 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

Formetera Lady, dark lover
