Verse:

Em             D                  C
Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shoreline
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
Am             G                   F
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:

A               D
I'll unwind my old strings 
                      A
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
