Deep Purple — Soldier Of Fortune

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Yes, 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
