  • Met an old friend the other day
    Recognised from a different age
    Like a ghost in a photograph
    Distant memories of the past
    There was Nico and Limpopo
    Ipaminandas and young Nero
    All the old friends we've known so well
    With all the stories they'll never tell

    All it took was a photograph
    To bring the memories chasing back
    Of summer sunshine and cool green wine
    And all the good times we'd left behind
    We'd take the road down to Almansil
    If I had known then we'd be there still
    We left our hearts in the soft sea spray
    With every Quinta Do Lago day

    The wind in your hair
    The sun in your face
    The feeling of the power
    The beauty and grace
    Paraiso dos Cavalos
    Paraiso dos Cavalos

    Through our minds move the souls
    Of our bygone years
    As we ride through their ancient tears
    To a place to a time where
    We'd all be saved
    To gallop on in the breaking waves
