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 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
It's about a guy who is looking for true love, yet never seems to find it...
Great song.

@Mitsuko Yes. He is looking for the same good feeling. But he grows older and no girls are eager anymore. This song is sad. Growing older. Beautiful nonetheless.

could it be about a guy who is in love with a women, but she wont respond the way he wants her to? and he has grown tired of waiting for her response
So sad, it's so sad and depressing, really good song.
Really depressing. Their best and the best rock balld ever. He is talking to a lady he has not yet meet. A piece of art.
lovely lyrics but they're terribly depressing. why much all the good songs be so sad??
david coverdale is a good singer but ian gillian is definitely better.
@Ereinion Yep, but coverdale wrote this one. ;-)

actually the best rock ballad I've ever heard. a perfect composition - perfect instrumentation - coverdale at his best
I personally think this is their best song. It's the greatest ballad by all means; it's wonderful.
Perfect. Such a chilled song. Must have listened to it about 50 times in the last week, and I'm still not bored of it. First heard it on Monday, driving around countryside in the dark, stars out, feeling totally content. This will stick with me for years to come. Completely timeless.
The name of the singer isn't Ian Gillian???
@dylanrocks no indeed. :-) After his days
