Formentera Lady
Mystical Journey: Formentera's Sun-Kissed Tale
Lyrics
Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shoreline
Houses covered in whitewash stand as protectors along a pale shoreline
Cornered by the cactus and the pine
Surrounded by the cactus and pine, creating a sense of enclosure
Here I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow
Exploring a place where fragrant sage and unusual herbs thrive
Down a crumpled sun-baked stony road
Traveling along a crumpled, sun-baked, and stony road
Dusty wheels, leaning rusting in the sun
Abandoned, dusty wheels leaning and rusting under the sun
Snuff brown walls where Spanish lizards run
Walls of a snuff brown color where Spanish lizards freely roam
Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fan
Being shaded by the fan of a dragon fig tree, surrounded by ants, contemplating humanity
Ringed by ants and musing over man
Encircled by ants and reflecting on the nature of man
I'll unwind my old strings while the sun shine down
Relaxing, untangling old strings while basking in the sunshine
Won't climb any high thing while the sun shine
Choosing not to climb to great heights during the sunny weather
Formentera Lady, sing your song for me
Addressing a woman from Formentera, asking her to sing a song
Formentera Lady, sun lover
Referring to the woman from Formentera as a lover of the sun
Lamplight glows on old guitars, the travelers strum
Soft light illuminating old guitars as travelers play them
Incense children dance to an Indian drum
Children influenced by incense dancing to the beat of an Indian drum
Here Odysseus charmed for dark Circe fell
Referencing the story of Odysseus and Circe, suggesting enchantment and allure
Still, her perfume lingers, still her spell
The lingering scent and spell of Circe despite the passing of time
Time's grey hand won't catch me while the stars shine down
Expressing a desire to avoid the grasp of time while stars are shining
Untie and unlatch me while the stars shine
Asking to be untied and unlatched while stars continue to shine
Formentera Lady, dance your dance for me
Inviting the Formentera Lady to dance a dance for the speaker
Formentera Lady, dark lover
Describing the Formentera Lady as a dark lover
