lyrics

Soldier of Fortune
Words & Music by John DeLore

Light a candle, put it in your window. I’ll see it from the road.
I’ll come a-walkin’ right down your driveway. I’ll help you carry your load.
I been away too long I would steal for your touch.

Such is the life of solider of fortune.
I hold your picture in my mind.
Time is on my side.
Nine lives & six wide horses when I return.
Why do bridges burning leave me yearning for your touch?

Light a candle, put it in my window. You’ll see it from the sky.
When I am dreaming your body leaning in the corner of my mind.
You been away too long I would steal for your touch.
Song of the lone dove I would kill for your love
