Lyrics: Mike Oldfield. Flying Start.

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?

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

Flying start made the whole world sing
They had no choice
Flying start like a shining pearl
They sang in one voice

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

Flying start made the whole world sing
They had no choice
Flying start like a shining pearl
They sang in one voice

Flying start made the whole world sing
They had no choice
Flying start like a shining pearl
They sang in one voice

Flying start made the whole world sing
They had no choice
Flying start like a shining pearl
They sang in one voice

Flying start made the whole world sing
They had no choice
Flying start like a shining pearl
They sang in one voice
