Soldier of Fortune

I have often told you stories about the way I've 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 I would surely stay Now I feel I'm growing older And all the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance like the sound Of the windmill going 'round I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune Many times I've been a traveller I looked for something new In days of old when the nights were cold I wandered without you Those days I thought my eyes could see you standing near Though blindness is confusing It shows that you're not here Now I feel I'm growing older And all the songs that I have sung Echo in the distance like the sound Of the windmill going 'round I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune I can hear the sound Of the windmill going 'round I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune I guess I will always be your soldier of fortune
