SOLDIER OF FORTUNE

Music & Lyrics Written By Howard Axtell

There’s a light in the window, in a house down the road
And a ship just headed for shore
A woman stands waitin’ with tears in her eyes feelin’ so cold and alone
She wonders where the time has gone to She wonders where it goes
 
I’m a soldier of fortune, at war in the East Under a burnin’ sun
I’ve spent too many years, seen too many tears, battles that have never been won
I wonder where the time has gone to I wonder where it goes

I’ll be with you baby, when the sun comes up
I’ll keep you warmer, than the coffee in your cup
Just keep the love lights burnin’, to guide me home
The only thing that’s gonna ease my pain, is holdin’ you in my arms
 
I wonder where the time has gone to, I wonder where it goes baby
I know, you know, I’ve been carryin’ a sword and fighting for freedom
You know, I know, now it’s about time that I headed home now
I know, you know, I’ve been carryin’ a sword and fighting for freedom
You know, I know, now it’s about time that I headed home now
I know, you know, I’ve been carryin’ a sword and fighting for freedom
You know, I know, now it’s about time that I headed home now
I know, you know, I’ve been carryin’ a sword and fighting for freedom
You know, I know, now it’s about time that I headed home now
