Soldier Of Fortune-Deep Purple

 

 

 

I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter waiting for the day

When I"d take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
"Come lay with me, love me" and I would surely stay

But I feel I"m growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound of a windmill going round
I guess I"ll always be a soldier of fortune

Many times I"ve been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you

Those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you"re not here

Now I feel I"m growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound of a windmill going round
I guess I"ll always be a soldier of fortune

I can hear the sound of a windmill going round
I guess I"ll always be a soldier of fortune

I guess I"ll always be a soldier of fortune
