Soldier of fortune
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 going round I guess
I"ll always be a soldier of fortuneMany times
I"ve
been ! a traveller
I
looked for something new
In
days of old when nights were cold

I
wandered without you
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 growing older And the songs that
I
have sung echo in the distance
like
the sound of a windmill going round
I
guess I"ll always be a soldier of fortune
I
can hear the sound of a windmill going round
I
guess I"ll always be a soldier of fortune
