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 going round
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
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here.
Now i feel i'm going older
And the songs that i have sung echo in the distance
Like the sound of a windmill going round
Guess i'll always be a soldier of fortune
Yes, i can hear the sound of a windmill going round
I guess i'll always be a soldier of fortune.
I guess i'll always be a soldier of fortune.
