Lyrics - Soldier of Fortune 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 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
