Descriptions:

“Soldier of Fortune” by Deep Purple is a haunting, melancholic ballad that stands in contrast to the band’s heavier, riff-driven classics. Released in the year 1974, it’s become one of their most beloved deep cuts and showcases their emotional depth and musical versatility.

Lyrics

I have often told you stories about the wayI lived the life of a drifterWaiting for the day

When I’d take your hand and sing you songsThen maybe you would say“Come lay with me and love me”And I would surely stay

But I feel I’m growing olderAnd the songs that I have sungEcho in the distanceLike the soundOf a windmill going roundGuess I’ll always be a soldier of fortune

Many times I’ve been a travellerI looked for something newIn days of old when nights were coldI wandered without you

But those days I thought my eyes had seen you standing nearThough blindness is confusingIt shows that you’re not here

Now I feel I’m growing olderAnd the songs that I have sungEcho in the distanceLike the soundOf a windmill going roundGuess I’ll always be a soldier of fortune

I can hear the soundOf a windmill going roundGuess I’ll always be a soldier of fortune

I guess I’ll always beA soldier of fortune
