----------------------------------------------------
Verse:
EmHouses iced in Dwhitewash guard a pCale shoreline
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
AmHere I wander wGhere sweet sage and Fstrange herbs grow
Down a crumpled sunbaked stony road
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:
AI'll unwind my oDld strings
While the sun shine Adown
Won't climb any high thing
While the sun shine
Formentera Lady, sing your song for me
Formentera Lady, sun lover
Verse:
Lamplight glows on old guitars the travellers strum
Incense children dance to an Indian drum
Here Odysseus charm-ed for dark Circe 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
Formentera Lady, dark lover

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 crumpled sunbaked stony road

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:

A D

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:

Lamplight glows on old guitars the travellers strum

Incense children dance to an Indian drum

Here Odysseus charm-ed for dark Circe 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

Formentera Lady, dark lover
