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 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 thougt my eyes Had seen you standing near Though 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
