Soldier of Fortune Songtext
von 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
And maybe you would say
"Come lay with me and 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
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
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
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
