The bits

Somewhere hot:

Aa1    sun
Aa3    the warm wind
Aa6    mediterranean
Ab1    where the sun always shines

Windy?

Aa3    the warm wind blows constantly
Aa4    does the answer still blow
Ac4    riding that storm

And the natives have dark eyes:

B-1    two dark eyes

Nice place, with wine

Aa1    sun
Aa3    warm wind
Ab2    familiar faces and wines
B-1    two dark eyes from the doorway shine (*)

(*) promising ??? if you will go through the doorway

Going there and coming back:

Aa1    we took a place in the sun
Ab1    to where the sun always shines
Ac1    on dusty roads and tracks
Ac2    now it's the time to turn back

Following a dream:

Aa4    does the answer still blow
Aa5    did you find your chateau
Aa6    in that mediterranean fantasy

Life hasn't been easy so far and it's not getting easier / pushed by a dream:

B-2    so you lost your dream
B-3    I knew you had to do it your way, fine
B-4    but there's none to carry the cross this time
Ac4    riding that storm

The Flying Start will really be something:

C-2    the whole world ... they had no choice
C-4    a shining pearl

Will go on eventually, blown away to the next place:

Aa3    the warm wind blows constantly
Ac3    the warm winds blow constantly

Came here to examine the situation / life:

Aa1    we took a place in the sun
Aa2    to see just what had become
Aa4    does the answer still blow
Aa5    did you find your chateau

The process of self examination won't be easy:

Ab4    knock on the door
Ab5    but the memory's poor
Ab6    is there somebody in, now answer me
