I have been a fan of Sade for as long as I can remember. I even made a Sade playlist. Something about the smooth sound of her voice and her true tale lyrics always resonate with me. Just as with this song, her “come back” song “Soldier Of Love” I can identify with this song as I am sure many people can. The lyrics are very deep and tell the story of someone who has gone to war with love, has lost the battle but hasn’t given up.
My fav. part of the songs is this one, I almost feel that she is speaking on my behalf.
I’ve lost the use of my heart
But I’m still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It’s a wild wild west
I’m doing my best
I’m at the borderline of my faith,
I’m at the hinterland of my devotion
In the frontline of this battle of mine
But I’m still alive

Here are the lyrics:
I’ve lost the use of my heart
But I’m still alive
Still looking for the life
The endless pool on the other side
It’s a wild wild west
I’m doing my best
I’m at the borderline of my faith,
I’m at the hinterland of my devotion
In the frontline of this battle of mine
But I’m still alive
I’m a soldier of love.
Every day and night
I’m soldier of love
All the days of my life
I’ve been torn up inside (oh!)
I’ve 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 love’s soldier!
I wait for the sound
(oooh oohhh)
I know that love will come (that love will come)
Turn it all around
I’m a soldier of love (soldier of love)
Every day and night
I’m a soldier of love
All the days of my life
I am lost
But I don’t doubt (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 love’s soldier!
I wait for the sound
I know that love will come
I know that love will come
Turn it all around
I’m a soldier of love
I’m a soldier
Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(4x)
I’m a soldier of love
I’m a soldier
Still waiting for love to come
Turn it all around
(3x)
Still waiting for love to come
