Deep Purple – Soldier of fortune
I have often told you stories about the way
I lived the life of a drifter Waiting for the dayWhen 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 stayBut 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 fortuneMany times I’ve been a traveller
I looked for something new In days of old when nights were cold I wandered without youBut those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing It shows that you’re not hereNow 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 fortuneI can hear the sound
Of a windmill going round Guess I’ll always be a soldier of fortuneI guess I’ll always be
A soldier of fortune
