- Won't climb any ...
- Word painting (sing these or simply repeat "Lofty Early 70's Lyrics"to the melody ;^))
- Houses iced in whitewash guard a pale shorelineCornered by the cactus and the pineHere I wander where sweet sage and strange herbs grow
- Down a sunbaked crumpled stoney roadDusty wheeels leaning rusting in the sun
- Snuff brown walls where spanish lizards run (KC liked these critters!)Here I'm shadowed by a dragon fig tree's fanRinged by ants and musing over man
- I'll unwind my old stringsWhile the stars shine down
- Won't climb any high thingWhile the stars shineFormetera Lady sing your song for me
- Formetera Lady sweet loverLamplight glows on old guitarsthe travellers strum
- Inscense children dance to an indian drumHere Odysseus charm-ed for dark Cercie fellStill her perfume lingers still her spell
- Time's gray hand won't catch meWhile the stars shine down
- Untie and unlatch meWhile the stars shineFormentera Lady dance your dance for me
- Formetera Lady, dark lover
- PLAY TOO ..
