Deep Purple cover      ------------------------      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 going round   I guess I'll always be   Soldier of fortune      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      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 round   I guess I'll always be   Soldier of fortune      I can hear the sound   Of a windmill going round   I guess Ill always be   Soldier of fortune   I guess Ill always be   Soldier of fortune
