Formentera Lady King Crimson

[Verse 1]
Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shore-line
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
Here I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow
Down a crumpled sun-baked stony road

[Verse 2]
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 1]
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 3]
Lamplight glows on old guitars the travellers strum
Incense children dance to an Indian drum
Here Odysseus charmèd for dark Circe fell
Still her perfume lingers, still her spell

[Chorus 2]
Time's grey 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
