Verse:

E5             D5                  C5
Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shoreline
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
A5             G5                   F5
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:

A5               D5
I'll unwind my old strings 
                      A5
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
