I have often told you stories About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I d take your hand
And sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me and love me
And I would surely stay
But I feel I m growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound Of a windmill goin round
I guess I ll always be
A soldier of fortune
Many times I ve been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old
When nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thought my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Tho blindness is confusing
It shows that you re not here
Now I feel I m growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound Of a windmill goin round
I guess I ll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin round
I guess I ll always be
A soldier of fortune
I guess I ll always be
A soldier of fortune
