英國樂團［莎黛］──Trip Hop／放克／流行-靈魂樂──［Soldier of Love／愛的士兵］

 

 

 

Ive lost the use of my heart

But Im still alive

Still looking for the life

The endless pool on the other side

Its a wild wild west

Im doing my best

Im at the borderline of my faith,

Im at the hinterland of my devotion

In the front line of this battle of mine

But Im still alive

Im a soldier of love.

Every day and night

Im a soldier of love

All the days of my life

Ive been torn up inside (oh!)

Ive been left behind (oh!)

So I ride

I have the will to survive

In the wild wild west,

Trying my hardest

Doing my best

To stay alive

I am loves soldier!

I wait for the sound

(oh oh)

I know that love will come (that love will come)

Turn it all around

Im a soldier of love (soldier of love)

Every day and night

Im a soldier of love

All the days of my life

I have lost but I dont doubt

So I ride, I have the will to survive

In the wild wild west,

Trying my hardest

Doing my best

To stay alive

I am loves soldier!

I wait for the sound

I know that love will come

I know that love will come

Turn it all around

Im a soldier of love

Im a soldier

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Still wiat for love to come

Turning all around

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Im a soldier of love

Im a soldier

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Still wait for love to come

Turning all around

Still wait for love to come
