Deep Purple - Soldier Of Fortune lyrics

I have often told you stories<br>About the way<br>I lived the life of a drifter<br>Waiting for the day<br>When I'd take your hand<br>And sing you songs<br>Then maybe you would say<br>Come lay with me love me<br>And I would surely stay<br><br>But I feel I'm growing older<br>And the songs that I have sung<br>Echo in the distance<br>Like the sound<br>Of a windmill goin' 'round<br>I guess I'll always be<br>A soldier of fortune<br><br>Many times I've been a traveller<br>I looked for something new<br>In days of old<br>When nights were cold<br>I wandered without you<br>But those days I thougt my eyes<br>Had seen you standing near<br>Though blindness is confusing<br>It shows that you're not here<br><br>Now I feel I'm growing older<br>And the songs that I have sung<br>Echo in the distance<br>Like the sound<br>Of a windmill goin' 'round<br>I guess I'll always be<br>A soldier of fortune<br>Yes, I can hear the sound<br>Of a windmill goin' 'round<br>I guess I'll always be<br>A soldier of fortune
