Whitesnake » Soldier Of Fortune Lyrics

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 stay
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 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 thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Tho' 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
