Soldier of Misfortune
Ghosts in the Wind/Women Across the River Live
(David Olney/Warner Bros. Music)

I wish I could come to you in glory
A soldier from some holy war
Then you could see me in my splendor
Standing proud before your door
Bearing gifts from far off places
I'll gladly give them all to you
Eastern spice and Spanish laces
Silks of gold and velvet blue

I am a soldier of misfortune
Hold me close to your breats
I had my dreams but then I lost them
I am weary for my rest

I wish I could come to you with kindness
Or golden words that I would speak
To touch your heart and mind together
To touch you soft and touch you deep
I wish I had some special pleasure
That only I could give to you
Eastern spice or Spanish laces
Silks of gold or velvet blue

I am a soldier of misfortune
Hold me close to your breats
I had my dreams but then I lost them
I am weary for my rest
