Soldier of Fortune Songtext
von Richard Clapton

Soldier of fortune, you′re a gypsy horseman
Riding off into the night
You wanna be free, but it's not easy
To leave a good woman behind

Midnight rider, step into the light
It shines right across the road
Your lady stands waiting, with tears in her eyes
How could you hurt her so?

Soldier of fortune, you′re playing a game with her heart
She's aching, she's breaking, her small world is falling apart
A good woman′s hard to find
A good woman′s hard to find
Don't the old folk speak with caution
′Bout a soldier of fortune


Soldier of fortune, your day star is rising
Shining on you, don't you know?
Forget your pride, you had nothing to hide
You′d never have made it alone

Soldier of fortune, you're playing a game with her heart
She′s aching, she's breaking, her small world is falling apart
A good woman's hard to find
A good woman′s hard to find
Don′t the old folk speak with caution
'Bout a soldier of fortune

Soldier of fortune, you′re playin' a game with her heart
She′s aching, she's breaking, her small world is falling apart
A good woman′s hard to find
A good woman's hard to find
Don't the old folk speak with caution
′Bout a soldier of fortune
A soldier of fortune

Soldier of fortune

Soldier of fortune

Soldier of fortune
