King Crimson - Formentera Lady

Full Album Playlist: FORMENTERA LADY (Fripp, Sinfield) 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 sun-baked, crumpled, 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. 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 sweet lover. Lamplight glows on old guitars the travellers strum; Incense children dance to an Indian drum. Here Odysseus charmed for dark Circe fell, Still her perfume lingers still her spell. Time’s grey hand won’t catch me while the sun shine down Untie and unlatch me while the stars shine. Formentera Lady dance your dance for me Formentera Lady dark lover. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Robert Fripp: Guitar, Mellotron, Peter’s Pedal Harmonium and sundry implements Mel Collins: Flute, Bass Flute, Saxes & Vocals Boz: Bass Guitar, Lead Vocals & Choreography Ian Wallace: Drums, Percussion & Vocals Peter Sinfield: Words, Sounds & Visions Featured players Keith Tippett: Piano Paulina Lucas: Soprano Robin Miller: Oboe Mark Charig: Cornet Harry Miller: String Bass Engineer: Andy Hendrikson Cover Design & Painting: Peter Sinfield Equipment: Vick & Mike Recorded at Command Studios, Piccadilly, London Outer cover illustration ‘Trifid Nebula in Sagittarius’ by courtesy of The Institute of Technology and Carnegie Institution of Washington #KingCrimson #RobertFripp #Islands
