"Soldier Of Fortune" lyrics

Sandi Thom & Steve Balsamo Lyrics

"Soldier Of Fortune"
(originally by 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 going around
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveler
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 going around
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

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 around
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

And I can hear the sound
Of a windmill going around
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
