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         At Paraiso dos Cavalos   Paraiso dos Cavalos
