Lyrics Soldier Of Fortune - 2009 Digital Remaster - 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 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 goin' '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
But 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 goin' 'round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune

I can hear the sound of a windmill goin' 'round
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
Guess I'll always be a soldier of fortune
