Lyrics

We took a place in the sun to see just what had become
The warm wind blows constantly
Does the answer still blow? did you find your chateau
In that mediterranean fantasy?

[ chorus ]

Flying start
Made the whole world sing, they had no choice
Flying start
Like a shining pearl, they sang in one voice

To where the sun always shines, familiar faces and wines
The warm wind blows constantly
Knock on the door, but the memory's poor
Is there somebody in? now answer me!
Two dark eyes from the doorway shine
So you lost your dream in a bottle of wine
I knew you had to do it your way, fine
But there's none to carry the cross this time

[ repeat chorus ]

On dusty roads and tracks. now it's the time to turn back
The warm winds blow constantly
Riding that storm since the day you were born
Is there somebody in? now answer me!
Two dark eyes from the doorway shine
So you lost your dream in a bottle of wine
I knew you had to do it your way, fine
But there's none to carry the cross this time

[ repeat chorus ]

[ repeat chorus ]

[ repeat chorus ]

[ repeat chorus ]
