---------------------------------------------------- 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

                    A
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
