Verse

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

Chorus

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

Guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune.

Verse

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

Though blindness is confusing

It shows that you're not here.

Chorus

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

Guess I'll always be

A soldier of fortune.

Outro

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...
