Soldier of Fortune (quad mix in stereo) 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
Yes, 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
