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 goin' '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


But those days I thougt 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 goin' 'round


I guess I'll always be


A soldier of fortune


Yes, I can hear the sound

Of a windmill goin' 'round


I guess I'll always be


A soldier of fortune
